I have 3 peacocks and one peahen. 3 days ago I had a "stray" peacock wandering by the pen.
Hes been displaying and walking along the fence all day. Am I asking for trouble if I let him into the pen with the others?
They don't seem to pay much attention to him outside the pen.
This is the first time I let my bantam cochins hatch their own eggs. They hatched this morning. Nest boxes are about 3 feet above the floor. Should I take them out and put them on the floor?
I'm thinking about getting a few peachicks. Friend thinks it's a bad idea. I have a pen (140 x 40). Do males call all night? Are males aggressive with each other? Anything else I should know. I do have chickens and turkeys.

Before putting my eggs in the incubator, I took a pencil and drew faces on the shells.
Now when I look in there I'm not just looking at plain eggs, I'm looking at little faces.
Seems to make the ''3 week wait'' easier
I've built a homemade incubator, I have tried two different water heater thermostats, neither was very accurate or steady.
Can anyone recommend a good thermostat?
Ive read all the posts of people having poor hatch rates with usps shipped eggs ( myself included 5 out of 24 )
Has anyone tried shipping UPS or FEDEX? with any better results?

I Live In Northwest Indiana - Nights Are Now Getting Below Freezing - Is It Still Safe To Have Eggs Shipped?
