Yep, we couldn't believe our eyes. We've had only Royal Purple Guineas for seven years and sell off the keets. I'd been looking for their nests and finally found the big one. I knew of another nest in the day lillies that were soaked from all the rain. So I grabbed them all and put them in the...
Hattiesburg here. I've got FCM, Bielefelders and Ayam Ketawa from Greenfire Farms. They free range now but hope to have pens but soon. I'd rather have pure breeds than barnyard chickens!
I found the article addressing a question I've recently asked. It was well written and organized. There were some suggestions for addressing readers questions or concerns, but I thought it was great as written.
I have a 50x x 50' aviary w two breeding pairs of peafowl. One peahen is broody with about 7 eggs that will hatch in about a week. How will the adults react to the new peachicks?
I also have 4 peachicks a month old from an incubator hatch.and was thinking of letting them loose in the...
Hey, how's it going for everybody? Thinking of raising some jumbo coturnix quail. I have an aviary 50' x 50' with sheds attached. I already have 2 pairs of peafowl in it. The question is can I turn the quail loose with the peafowl? Of course I would add covering for the little guys to hide...
Yes, out on Elks Lake Rd. I've got Blacklaced Gold Wyandottes. Ayam Ketawa(laughing chickens), Marans and Crested Cream Legbar all from Greenfire Farms. A few Royal Purple Guineas, India Blue and White peacocks and Golden pheasants. 3 goats, 3 dogs and a headach!
KsKingBee Oh, I missed communicated. Your information was very interesting and provocative. I've got several tasks to do as a result of your information. And as you said there's some poor advice on BYC so I now use caution when treating my pets.
Thanks again for supporting us newbies on BYC.
They normally hit the feeder as soon as they are let out of the coop. Most of the day they free range in the pasture or woods until about a hour before dark. Then I call them for some wild bird seed. Both chickens and guineas come running for the treats. They stick around and eventually go...
Here is a good article although not a study

Here is one study about fenbendazole in peafowl

@ KsKingBee First off thank you for all the support you provide to BYC. I watch all your responses to become a better person to raise my pets.
One of the biggest issues I have with responses is the lack of good information. I believe my response was to a thread about Using Safeguard...
I had the same issue about how and what to use. The breeder I got my peafowl from gave a liquid by mouth. I saw the way they captured mine and didn't like the stress to the bird nor the fear the peafowl displayed. I wanted a gentle way. I found a couple of references to worming through their...
We've got 16 white chinese geese that free range and have a 1/2 ac pond to swim on. We would like to add 6-8 more to the gaggle. How is the best way to introduce new, incubator hatched goslings to the gaggle without them forming their own click?
