knowing what breed to caring for them.

hi guys i got these peacock chicks at the beginning of the summer and i'm hoping i have one boy and one girl so i can have more in a few years.
here's the first one

thanks guys i appreciate it!

she's standing and walking around her box now. eating and drinking well but pooping in big mounds. also its been 3 days and no egg! could she be egg bound?
just checked on her again and she doesn't want to be under the light in the nest where its warm or be up on the perch that we put in there for her. she just wants to lay down in the hay in a dark corner of the box!
I went back out there to feel her crop again and i felt it! but it was very empty! it was like a 2 or 3 centimeter saggy balloon with a few pebbles in it.
she just turned 1 year old and while holding her we noticed something. a while ago she had poop stuck to her back feathers below her vent because her feathers were grown out too much. so we washed it and it wouldn't come off so we had to cut of the feathers. well shes had a bald butt for a...

my step dad just told me that in a week we will let her out in a small trailer coop by her self to get acquainted with the other hens and then we will put he the vasoline on her. he didn't want to do it now because 1. she has cedar shavings in her pen to keep the mites away. and 2. the cedar...
