    Is this split white or white eye?

    Perhaps a pic of the two birds you are talking about, I don't know what you are referencing. Although 'Loud Pied' is not a genetic term it is seldom used as a description of a heavily white Pied usually carrying WE. Accepted patterns are Wild Type, Black Shoulder, Brown Wing, White, Pied...

    Is this split white or white eye?

    Split to either White or Pied is indistinguishable from each other. In this case, with the patch of white above, I would guess split to Pied or maybe Pied. There is no evidence of White Eye or it would have a silverish overall appearance and some white tips on the back feather tips. Also on...

    Java Green peacock growout journal

    I am always interested in what people mean when they say 'Java'. Did you get pure Greens as in his Imported line or from his American Green, or high Hybrids?

    Can Peahens and Chickens live together?

    They can live together and they don't really bother each other but you will need to keep up with your regular deworming. I suggest that you read all of the stickies in the index at the top of the peafowl forum page.

    You are welcome. The color is one indicator but the best indicator is the darts on the black feathers on the saddle and wings.

    Peafowl in the Backyard – Beauty, Brains, or Both?

    Consider using wiggle wire and channel for temporary installment of tarps. The same system used for high tunnels and green house plastic. Mid to high Hybrids, (Spaldings) will be fine in a good windbreak down to the teens for a short while without heat. High Hybrids should have some heat to...

    Peafowl in the Backyard – Beauty, Brains, or Both?

    Peachick color?

    Internet pictures are notorious for being off-color and coupled with being so young I will pass on the two chicks. The Purple hen is in molt and the light feathers are probably old sun-faded feathers that have not been replaced yet. Look for white under the chin and white on the outside...

    Our newest adventure, EMU's!

    I find it interesting that both of my emu like to be inside of the sheep barn, perhaps it is because they prefer sheep feed over what I was giving them. On a positive note they have seem to have settled down.

    Advice needed - Head shaking in both 9 week old peachicks.

    You can rule out worms as well since they haven't been outside on the dirt. There is some type of irritant in otherwise healthy chicks so I would look at the bedding. Watch closely at the skin just below the eyes to see if the skin puffs out with every breath, that would be an indication...
