Hey Guys,
So I have a 16 year old peacock (that I raised from a peachick) that has been sick for over 5 weeks. I have tried to take him to a vet but no one here wants to take one in as a patient. He has free ranged all of his life up until I found him sick. I have given him Antibiotics...
Hey guys,
So I am starting to sell off some of my last years hatch, and I had a guy ask me if it is ok to interbreed peafowl (Some of my last years hatch are related to each other). So I was wondering is it ok to interbreed peafowl to some extent?
Pea People,
I awoke this morning to find that one of my 9 month old Peacocks is dead. My other birds look great. I free range my chickens and peafowl, and put them up at night. Last night I noted that the Peacock was very unsteady on his feet, and was pooping a deep green and yellow. He also...
Hi Guys,
I have a friend that I just talked to and she said that her Peahen or Peahens (2) have laid three more eggs this week. She told me that she was debating weather or not to let one of her broody hens try to hatch these eggs, but she does not know if they are fertile. The five year old...
Hi, guys this is going to be my first hatch with peafowl (They eggs are on day 25), and I was wandering what are some bad things that could go wrong when they try to hatch. I want to be able to help the chicks if something goes wrong.I really do not know what to look out for and how to help the...
Hi, guys I just thought I would see how many Peahen eggs you guys have gotten so far. I know one of the Peahens here, has laid over 35 eggs this year and she is still laying. She has had 6-8 eggs in the pen for a long time now but she will not set (Hope to get some peachicks from her). So how...
Hi guys,
I have a chance to get some Guineas (Thinking about three to start out with), but I was wandering if I should tame them. My plan is to free range them so they will eat the ticks out in my yard, but I am worried if I hand tame them they will not be good at defending themselves against...
Hi guys,
After two weeks of my Buff Orpington setting on her six peahen eggs, she desisted to get off of her eggs for a half of day, but thankfully another one of my hens jump on the eggs a kept them warm for all of the hours my Buff was off except one. So do you guys think that these eggs...
Hi Guys,
I am new to BYC and Peafowl, but I was wandering if you guys can help me with a problem. This last Tuesday (21) I put three of my peahen eggs under one of my broody chickens, but this last Wednesday and Saturday (22 & 25) I put another three eggs under this hen. Do you guys have any...
