I have a peachick I hatched a few days ago and I’ve never gotten one quite this color. This is also the first year my male is with two Spalding females. He is also a Spalding. My male has thrown pied chicks with a different hen before and with these two new girls he’s thrown two whites. This is...
I hatched out 2 little Spaldings a few months back and I thought they might be old enough to sex. I think they’re both female but I’m more experienced with India Blues. Can anybody tell or are they still too young? The one labeled and the one on the perch are different birds.

Hi all. I've wanted to get a Java Green for a while now but the problem is is that I live in North Carolina where the winters get below freezing. I wanted to know how low I can safely keep a Java Green at without having to worry about any problems coming up? In the winter I give my IB's and...
I’m about the have some Spalding peachicks hatch and I’ve been doing research to make sure I feed them right. I read that I should mix medicated chick feed with starter game bird food. What brands do you use for your chicks? And what do you find to be the best food for them? I also read that I...
A while ago I sold a 3-4 month old Peachick to a friend. My friend has had the peachick for about 1-2 months and the chick is too light. She hasn’t been seen eating but the food in her bowl has been disappearing. She is in a pen by herself but she is with others peafowl and can easily see and...
I had some Cochin bantam eggs that are due to hatch soon. I noticed an egg piping and kept a close eye in it. I just went outside to notice blood on other eggs and the piping egg had blood around the pip and a tiny bloody wing sticking out. Thinking it was dead as it wasn’t moving or peeping I...
I have some fertile peafowl eggs sitting on my counter. I sold them on Ebay and before we ship them I wanted to make sure they would still have a chance at hatching. How long can they sit before they’re too old to hatch?
Hello again! I’m back with my two baby peafowl and wanted to see if they were old enough to tell the gender. I think they’re about 2 mo this old now. The lighter one is a Spaulding and the darker is an India Blue. Can any one help?
I haven't been on in a while but I finally have some questions! My peafowl have layed fertile eggs this year and out of the 15 fertile peafowl eggs only 4 hatched! I sold 2 of them but I'm in the procces of convining my parents to let me keep them if they're girls. But the only problem is, I...
Hi all, I have a 3 yro peahen who paces the cage and I thought she just wanted out so I thought nothing of it but than she started clucking and calling to outside the cage. I don't know what she wants, I did read somewhere that a peahen about to lay eggs will do this but breeding season just...
Hey, I want to know how long it would take a 4 yro peahen to bond with a random adult male peacock in order to lay fertile eggs? Also I want to know if peahens can reject the males sperm like a chicken hen and not have fertile eggs?
Hi, I was petting my peacock when I saw on his face little yellowish bugs on him. I'll try to post pics of him tomorrow close up, my question is, are they dangerous and if so what do I do to help him i'm also going to check the others but I know he has some? Is there any meds that I can put...
Hi, I noticed that my peahen has drooping wings and I wondered if somethings wrong, she's had droopy wings for about 2-3 weeks and she is more pale than our younger peahen even though she is older she is a little smaller (about 2 years older) and we don't think she is egg bound because she has...
