    live long and lay eggs

    I have read in several blogs/posts that peafowl will like around 25 to 35 years in captivity. 1. How long do pea hens lay eggs (till they pass away) or at what age do they stop? 2. Do you purchase grown peahens because if they do stop laying how do you know whom to by and not to purchase?

    what breed is this?

    I was sold these turkeys and was told they were Royal Palm. But after looking at everyone else's pictures, mine have brown and I don't believe they should if they are Royal Palm. What do you think? The hens have a slight brown also.
