    Is this split white or white eye?

    This male is about 3 - 3.5 months. He has white flight feathers but also has a patch of white on his shoulder which throws me off. That patch of white on the shoulder isn't pied is it? I have a pied female the same age and she has a lot more white as well as on the head. I know the white flight...

    New babies!

    Hi all! I'm not new to peafowl, we had some previously but had to step back. Now we have a new bunch and I'm super excited about them. First I have a Spalding (blackshoulder?) that's quite flighty. I intend to try to at least get him used to us and less scared. I then have 2 whites about...

    Hours old chick with broken leg

    My broody stepped on one of her freshly hatched babies. I heard it screaming, picked it up and I think she broke his leg. When I hold it on it's back, the leg flops over to the side. Assuming it would be at the hip joint? What can I do for this baby. Not sure how to splint it if it's at the hip...

    Day 22, can't see anything

    We had a broody hatch chicks this morning. She had pooped all over them so some had to be tossed because they got infected and were nasty inside. I have one egg left I tried to candle but cant see anything at all. It looks like it might be my welsummer's egg or my maran's (hers are more colored...

    Incubator issues - poults dying

    I have/had quite a few turkey eggs in my incubator. I have been having a hard time getting it to 75% humidity. 60 is the most it will go. I just found out this morning it leaks out most of the water I put in. I have poults internally pipping then shrink wrapping. TWO have made it to external...

    Whizbang Plucker help

    We purchased one of these last year and it needed the motor/electrical components. We finally got all that hooked up on it. We used it today but everytime we stuck a chicken in it, once it hit the featherplate, it stopped. When you'd pick up the chicken off the featherplate, it would start up...

    Mass broody breaking

    How would you go about breaking multiple broodies without a bunch of crates and such to move them? We have 2 broodies on eggs (that we have allowed) and have another 3-4 either starting or trying to go broody. It's driving me nuts and egg count is dropping.

    Whiting True Greens

    Anyone have these from McMurray? I got some 3 weeks ago. 4 birds that were supposed to all be pullets. However, I think I have a couple roosters. We ordered them with cornish cross, red ranger meat birds, and red star layers. These 4 had the eyeliner look like leghorn chicks so I assumed those...

    What breeds are these two?

    The grey one was a free bird from Murray McMurray hatchery. I also think its probably a roo. Its 3 weeks old and barely any wing and tail feathers. He has feathered legs. Don't think he is a bantam as he is as big as my other 3 weekers. The yellow/white one came from TSC. We bought some...

    Woods Coop questions

    We are in TX, near the gulf. We have about 50ish birds. Our current coop is a recycled greenhouse that was on our property. 10.5' X 18.5' and 12 feet high at peak, dirt floor (in which we do deep litter) and the chickens sleep in the rafters. It has a large triangle opening at the top that faces...

    Distinguishing breeds in my order

    Any way to distinguish Red Stars from Red Ranger broilers? I got my order from McMurray today and we are separating our meaties (cornish and red rangers) from our layers (whiting greens and red stars). I'm having difficulty figuring out which are Red Ranger and which are Red stars. Any tips...

    Chick with yolk coming out

    Had this guy hatch a little while ago. It was attached to the egg by I guess the cord but then came unattached. At the time, there was just a tiny blob on the umbilical. Now, it appears there is a little yolk sack, as if some came back out. What should I do for this little one?

    Blue laced red wyandotte

    I have this guy here, I'm 98% sure its a rooster. But I need confirmation. He is 10 months old and all our other rooster have full plumage and are crowing. This guy...idk. I remember my SLW hens were slower to mature to full size, so I thought maybe its the same for him? His feathers are shiny...

    Hen taking newly hatched chicks?

    I have a hen that is a really good mama. She even took chicks I brought from the store and put in with her freshly hatched babies. My question is, she hasn't been broody this year yet. I have incubator eggs hatching today and I'm wondering if it would be possible she might adopt these little...

    Peafowl pen landscaping?

    Are there plants that are good for landscaping a little in the pea-pen? My husband will be done with our aviary today and I am excited to get our pair on the ground and more room. But I'd like to plant some things and make it a little more natural for them. Just looking for ideas or experience...

    Getting newly hatched quail to eat

    We just had an 85% hatch rate on shipped eggs, super excited. We set 127 eggs and have 110 quail!! So I need a little help. Our last hatch was ok, however we started losing a lot between days 2-4. After research I realized those probably never went and ate/drank. I was seeing quail flock to...

    Feather picking?

    I have 2 6-month old peafowl. Male and female. A week and a half ago they were moved outside into a pen, from inside my house. It is not ideal but temporary as we are in the process of building them an aviary. Today I noticed the male is bald on his back between the feathers. I walked off and...
