    Using nipple waterer system for peafowl?

    Hi all - I have a nipple watering system in our poultry barn for my peafowl to use but I never see them use it.

    IB Split to white? Pic included

    Hi everyone! My knowledge of peafowl genetics is very elementary.. The breeder I got my boys from told me that there was a chance they may be split to white. I've read that birds with white feathers in their flights and/or white throat patches are indicative of them being split to white.. I...
