    Is this split white or white eye?

    I may have been confusing terms. I thought Loud pied were those that were more heavily white. I've been trying to learn all the colors and patterns. I knew at least the white flight feathers meant he carried white. This is the hen. I know she is pied, I was sold the male as IB (I had wanted 2...

    Is this split white or white eye?

    I had been looking it up and saw something that talked about white on the wing being related to white eye, that's good to know about the silverish color. I wasn't sure how much extra white they had to have to be considered pied. I personally like the loud pied which I believe the hen is as she...

    Is this split white or white eye?

    This male is about 3 - 3.5 months. He has white flight feathers but also has a patch of white on his shoulder which throws me off. That patch of white on the shoulder isn't pied is it? I have a pied female the same age and she has a lot more white as well as on the head. I know the white flight...

    New babies!

    Hi all! I'm not new to peafowl, we had some previously but had to step back. Now we have a new bunch and I'm super excited about them. First I have a Spalding (blackshoulder?) that's quite flighty. I intend to try to at least get him used to us and less scared. I then have 2 whites about...

    Cornish Cross Help Please!

    We find them so much better. They're not pumped full of junk as well as water. In reality, they're the same birds as the ones in stores, just raised in very poor conditions.

    Cornish Cross Help Please!

    If you feed high protein, then yes, they'll start having problems. We just did some that were 12-14 weeks old and they were running around their fenced area like nothing. We have ours in a tractor and then an electric poultry net around it to give them a big area to forage. Some of ours foraged...

    Temporary housing for meat chickens

    We too use a hoop house tractor. Super simple and cheap. Look up Cog Hill Farm on youtube. He made a temporary house out of cattle panels and t-posts. He takes it down when he's done.

    What happened to this guy?

    Lol, nope, it was def a chicken egg. Yes they are all the same age. They are currently 2 weeks old. I'm assuming it's a weird genetics thing.

    What happened to this guy?

    I think both. He was naked a at birth, but I think they're picking some,of the stray feathers. Here he is at a day old.

    What happened to this guy?

    Haha, it's a strange one. It hatched and a few hours later, I thought it was still wet under the mama. Then the next day it fluffed a little but was somewhat bald. I think it's possible the other chicks might have picked his random head feathers (no many of them) and made him look more bald lol...

    Smell of Meat birds

    We have 6 kids, so we aim for 2 chickens per week. Last year was our first year and we ordered 25 just to get our feet wet. This year we got 80 and we're still processing in batches and lost some early on so we'll have a total of what we did later in a few weeks. Next year we are ordering 115...

    Smell of Meat birds

    We raise CX and have tried Rangers as as well. We thought about heritage breeds but honestly they take a long time and more food. Therefore cost was more. We put our CX in a tractor surrounded by electric fence. These birds are all over the place getting bugs and scratching. they do lay around...

    Whiting True Blue & Whiting True Green

    I had 4 WG I got from McMurray. They were supposed to be pullets and 2 were roosters. Those two are mixed with my Red Ranger meat birds now and I have no clue which ones they are anymore. My 2 pullets recently got eaten by my dog :hit:hit:hit But, they were reddish, all 4 and they had...

    Whizbang Plucker help

    I think it's the motor stalling. The belt is still on. It runs fast and as soon as the bird hits the bottom plate, it just stops.
