    New to Emus!!! Can they protect chickens against predators?

    They are just as likely to be calm, sweet, and loving as they are to being completely psychotic and dangerous. Of our five emu two love to be held and petted, two will let you pet them and one we can't get close to. In peafowl, imprinting a cock can lead to a bird with no fear of humans that...

    New to Emus!!! Can they protect chickens against predators?

    Having had emu's for only a few weeks I am not much help but I would get the trio and look for someone to trade hens with. Being hatch mates is not necessarily going to mean they are full-on brother and sisters, but getting a non-related hen would be a good idea.

    Interesting observation, I will keep this in mind as I pet my mature birds.

    What color is this peachick?

    The Cameo cock is either split to White or Pied or possibly Dark Pied, I'd have to know what the parents are to say. The two Cameo Silver Pieds you will have to have DNA sexed. The two IB Wild Type you can't say they are Dark Pied without knowing the parents.

    Is this split white or white eye?

    Perhaps a pic of the two birds you are talking about, I don't know what you are referencing. Although 'Loud Pied' is not a genetic term it is seldom used as a description of a heavily white Pied usually carrying WE. Accepted patterns are Wild Type, Black Shoulder, Brown Wing, White, Pied...

    Is this split white or white eye?

    Split to either White or Pied is indistinguishable from each other. In this case, with the patch of white above, I would guess split to Pied or maybe Pied. There is no evidence of White Eye or it would have a silverish overall appearance and some white tips on the back feather tips. Also on...

    Java Green peacock growout journal

    I am always interested in what people mean when they say 'Java'. Did you get pure Greens as in his Imported line or from his American Green, or high Hybrids?

    Can Peahens and Chickens live together?

    They can live together and they don't really bother each other but you will need to keep up with your regular deworming. I suggest that you read all of the stickies in the index at the top of the peafowl forum page.

    IBBS color differences (10 week update)

    You are welcome. The color is one indicator but the best indicator is the darts on the black feathers on the saddle and wings.

    Peafowl in the Backyard – Beauty, Brains, or Both?

    Consider using wiggle wire and channel for temporary installment of tarps. The same system used for high tunnels and green house plastic. Mid to high Hybrids, (Spaldings) will be fine in a good windbreak down to the teens for a short while without heat. High Hybrids should have some heat to...

    Peafowl in the Backyard – Beauty, Brains, or Both?

    Be sure to change out that metal roost for a flat wooden one before it gets cold. Cold metal and not being able to cover his toes will lead to frostbite.

    Male or Female?

    Yes, most likely IBBSWE or IBBS Pied WE.

    Male or Female?

    I'd like to see a pic straight down from above but from this angle it appears to be an IBBS hen probably carrying a white gene of some sort.

    Peachick color?

    Internet pictures are notorious for being off-color and coupled with being so young I will pass on the two chicks. The Purple hen is in molt and the light feathers are probably old sun-faded feathers that have not been replaced yet. Look for white under the chin and white on the outside...
