I am in the final steps of securing the necessary permits and waivers to allow us to import peafowl from Thailand. The number of birds is not an issue. We have relationships in place to allow this to occur, and once we get the waivers, are going to be putting 1, if not more shipments together...
We got this bird as the "extra" from McMurray Hatcheries. He acts like a rooster, but is not vocal. Struts around like a cock, but hangs out with a group of hens and a rooster.... I don't get it. Is he as confused as we are? Thanks!
We've spent quite a bit of time looking for peacocks to buy since we lost the 2. Yeah, I may be weird, and have a new addiction, but everyone has their vise, and there are worse.... Anyway... In all of the ads, people claim that the birds are "5 years old". If there's a "lucky number" with...
Because of the kerfluffle we experienced that most of you have read about, we took losing the two as an opportunity to introduce some new blood.
George and T.G. are 6 mos now. I found a hen who looks to be about a year. The seller told me she was 5 mos, and when we saw her, she is the largest...
Losing two babies, with the risk of losing my other two caused me to do two things; I built Casa de Pea. My sister called it "Mansion de Pea", but I think with a few more birds, it will be perfectly cozy. Any "rules" about moving a couple of Lovebirds, or Lorikeets into the Casa with them?

I've got 4 teenagers right now, and I just went outside and I have a very sickly and lethargic peababy. No physical damage. Any help would be appreciated. We do all our own vet work with horses, but my bird knowledge is terribly limited.
He was fine this morning around 11. Something changed...
You've seen the 4 little one's I've got. Currently, they are (guessing) 4 weeks old. They live in the garage in a coop we created for easy build and tear down. Worked for the chickens. Working-ish for the peas. They are flighty little things... We keep the lights on, door closed, and a fan on...
Tried the search feature to no avail. I'm looking for a Java pair, and am curious to know if there are any breeders around here. What's going price for a pair? Anything REALLY important to know about these guys that isn't widely known?
Wanted to say hello from Phoenix. We have 4 peafowl, 25 chickens, one very happy Guinea, and 28 horses.
We're excited about learning more about poultry husbandry, and ensuring great health for our flock.
