Thank you for the correction on the purple black shoulder, much appreciated!!
are the pea babies considered juvenile at 1 yr of age?
Our white peahen is laying again so I am guessing she is the mom of the juvenile. The other one (colored) has not been seen laying yet so that is why we are...
Hi, how much in demand are these feathers with fly tie folks? Are the feathers shed and you pick up or do you process the bird and collect the feathers? thanks and wow looking birds!
We have two cocks, one India Blue and one Purple. We were told the purple was a black shoudered purple. He seems to be the only one who breeds and chases off the India Blue who is the younger of the two cocks.
We have one white hen and I don't know the color of the other hen. Here she is...
Many thanks again Dylan's Mom. So my purple is correctly called a purple bar winged? And sorry, I didn't catch what you thought my pea chick might turn out, color wise, as?
OK, I cannot remember what this hen color is called. She acts like a cock, fans her tails etc., beats up my Marans...
Thanks Dylan's Mom. I don't know what the hen is, as far as influence from purple or blue, this is her first hatch. Sadly, we lost the other 3 that she hatched out (naturally) and this little guy is the lone survivor, so they are currently in a tractor at the moment.
I was trying to see...
Thanks everyone. So what do is my purple peacock actually called? just purple? If so, then what would his one baby be, color wise? Many thanks again everyone, these bird genetics confuse me a bit ROFL
Hi…I'm pretty sure the one cock is a purple black shoulder…that is what I was told when I bought from a peafowl farm in the midwest. Here is a better pic of him compared to the India blue. You can see he is definitely purple necked.
I am curious, is he NOT a black shoulder?
Many thanks!
The hen is white and we believe the cock to be our purple black shoulder (???) and not our India blue. The Purple though smaller is very dominant over the blue and chased him away this breeding season, hence we think its our purple cock as sire. (our peafowl are free range). We did coop the hen...
Not sure if this is right place to post a *help* with incubator problem. I'm a blithering idiot when it comes to certain things, such as thermostats, coils, electrical etc.,
I picked up a small redwood incubator, the seller had replaced the thermostat with another wafer thermostat. The...
HELP! A lady on a poultry list we are both on notified said list there was an old redwood incubator available which I promptly snatched up but it took a couple of weeks to get it. She had to travel 100s of miles to bring it to a poultry show so I could pick it up. Long story short, it is a...
Well, after going through the blue copper boys and sharing pics with Gilavina, all my potential blue copper roos just didn't make the cut so they went to freezer camp. Neither did my copper splashes. We do have some offspring form the better copper splash so hopefully those will carry on!
We...
Thanks Vicki, I will see if I can find one online that doesn't break the bank. I looked quickly the other day at 500 lumens and they were 65.00 and up.
OK ladies and gents....I am having a heck of a time candling my eggs. What are the lumens you are working with? Yes, I do them in a 100% dark room (at night actually) but just cannot see anything. Here are the color of the eggs, for the most part.
A couple of my BCM cockerels are making me...
We have a few peafowl, we *think* one white hen (but need to get a pic of her/him), one India Blue, one Purple black shoulder? and another that I am not quite sure of (will put pic here).
The blue, purple males are just 2 and same for white hen. The one with pic is just 1 yr. Can we expect any...
Well yeah, you did encourage me a LOT!! I was ready to toss in the towel and raise a bunch of CX!!! ROFL
You had the foresight to see the little ones with potential!! Thank you again!
