    WHAT IS A PEAFOWL?

    Keep an eye on the facial skin colour of chicks hatched this year. Those chicks nurtured on egg yolks generated from an UK supplemented diet will often resemble wild caught birds in plumage and skin colour - and also in the length of crest plumes. I'm a bit surprised that the colour has not...

    WHAT IS A PEAFOWL?

    Congo Peafowl perform elaborate flight displays. Both sexes engage in pair bonding rituals year round. They are strongly monogamous. When the male radiates with its tale spread, the brilliant blue violet velvet fringe at the tips of the retrices form a semi circle with the secondary wing covert...

    They'll find most of their food on the range especially if you have a stream or pond. You can always grow guppies as an optimal supplement. They're very easy to raise and reproduce via livebirth-

    Feeding Peafowl

    I wouldn't say that they suffer from NO ailments- just not the ones incurred in intensive farming protocols adopted by many breeders. I listed the specific health problems I've been most aware of through necropsies of captive birds in Europe, N.America and Japan. As you can readily see, the...

    Feeding Peafowl

    Point taken. I have not wormed or used a single antibiotic on any of my properties since the mid nineties. Nevertheless, our hatcheries just went through an antiparasite treatment this spring after several (chicken) hens showed symptoms of syngamus gape worm. In a similar situation, a cousin of...

    Feeding Peafowl

    Ultrakibble is a complete diet in every bite. I'm completely baffled how that is somehow repeatedly trounced over. Everything the bird actually requires in its diet is realised with a teaspoon of kibble. Everything else (whole grain) is a healthy filler for satiation. It costs close to 40% less...

    hi Julie, UltraKibble contains just enough nutritious corn, the foundation of livestock feeds for more than two hundred years and nearly an equal proportion of sorghum. It is soy free. We source all the materials in our feed very carefully and support local farmers. We support sustainable...

    Pheasant chick care

    For me, physical obstructions in the brooder are critical. This can be accomplished with fire wood mazes with tiling roofs - once outside straw bales and pine boughs. You can never have enough dried leaves in an enclosure either. Babycakes in the brooder with 5% Ultrakibble supplement ( with...
