I don’t know what all he is split to IB/BS/? . The person I got him from didn’t know and the two hens I have could be anything also. They came from a person who had all together. She had a white male, a B/S male, IB male and a Pied male with her hens and don’t know who they mated with. Here...
Thank you. The pictures are by chance. I let him out to free range a few times a week but have to keep an eye on him so he does not wonder to far or where he is not allowed to be. My two hens stay in the yard and don’t range far but he wants to roam especially after he loses his train. A lot...
These are three different pictures I took of my peacock, Jade, this spring. I love how the light reflecting off his feathers at different angles changes his color. Almost makes it look like I took pictures of 3 different peacocks. This is one on the reasons I love peafowl. Their colors are...
~~Thank you kuntrygirl. Jade does like to display. He started to display in January and does so every time he is allowed out of the pen. Ice the peacock I had before Jade didn’t start to display till spring. I am not sure how old he is they said he had his first train last year. In the one...
~~Ice recovered and is doing great. I had to rehome him last spring because he was going over next door and getting in trouble. I tried to break him of it but had no luck so I had to pen him up. Ice was always a free range peacock from when he was hatched. He always roosted in the tree at night...
Autumnmfisher are right that I am not blaming the farmer. That is why I still don’t know what was used because I never called him to ask what he used. I didn’t want to seem like I was trying to make trouble for him. I ask my brother in law to ask what he used but he never got back to me. I...
I just wanted to update you about Ice. He is doing great. He seems to be completely ok and is eating normal. He is running around with his hens again not just lying around.
When he sees me on the deck he comes running to get his treats. He is gobbling them up now not just looking at them...
Ice is doing very good today. His droppings are normal and he is eating. I think he may be over the worse of it. This site is wonderful. Without all the information I got from it I don’t think he would have made it and I am very thankful. I let him out of the big pen today and he went all...
Thanks everyone Ice is doing a lot better today. I even let him out of the pen because it is very hot in there. He is eating a good bit, not laying around all the time, and preening his feathers. Almost back to normal. I don’t think I have to give him a bath because we had two days of heavy rain...
My peacock is a 4 and half year old IB Peacock. He is free range. Last week I noticed that he didn’t seem to be acting normal. He was not as active. Started to watch him more. I wormed him with Safeguard. This is the second time he was wormed this year. First time was with Ivomec in the...
This is the first time I ever had peachicks. They are 1 week old and free range with the peahen. I hope someone can tell me what I have to do to keep them healthy. I have gamebird starter in the pen and the peahens keep taking them in and out all day. Is this a good food for them? The...
Thanks. Right now I am trying to keep a close eye on them because it has been raining for the last two day here. They did bring them out of the pen for a little bit twice, one is a little weak and has trouble keeping up.
Hailey and Windy hatched 6 eggs. They shared the nest which was a box inside the big pen and now are sharing the chicks. I wasn’t sure how that would work, but because they were sitting in the same box I didn’t want to separate them for fear of them leaving the nest. They had 13 eggs but...
