I know little on them myself, but I would think they'd need more space. Even with chickens themselves and keeping them on an acre lot I've seen it not be enough for them once they're free ranging. As far as loudness, again I'm not sure. I assumed it was both genders that are loud.
I think...
I have no experience raising peafowl, but I'll still share. I knew someone who had a lonely peahen and they kept her with their chickens. The cockerels were usually what stayed with her, and while she was obviously the top of the pecking order, they got along fine. In free range situations, I've...
Interesting idea! I like the divided rooms. What are the materials that were used to make the dividers besides PVC? It looks like some kind of netting.
Good tips on shade and the cool water. I've added ice cubes in my water before and it works good. I don't know about the sprinkler though. When chicken feathers are wet, they get heavy and will make the chickens hotter. It also makes it harder for them to regulate a steady body temperature. A...
On this specific issue, it's more of an issue when you're watching the thread. I have the same issue. Sometimes I'm watching multiple threads and I forget what question was asked on which thread I'm watching. (Especially when the question is a yes or no question. There's no quick indicator what...
Nocturnal Migrant: Day 8
I skipped a few days and am trying to take it easy on my brain, so I ended up doing this one quick. I love Whippoorwills and I've only heard them once or twice (once this Summer), so I wanted to do one.

I like the second idea too, but it might need to be specified. (Such as, just have a question mark (?) at the end, or complete sentence, etc.)
I agree. If the thread titles weren't so long, it'd...
I did this last night, but I'm posting late.
Spotted - Day 5
I did a Northern Spotted Owl. I was looking through my bird book for a Towhee that might be spotted and found a Spotted Owl instead. Me and my best friend ended up both using the same reference image, which was cool. Here's mine:
Oops. Sorry. :oops:
Orca is another name for Killer Whales. When my girl was a chick, she had the colors of one. Now, she's the farthest thing from one... until she's laying an egg and some unsuspecting hen happens to walk by.
