So unfortunately I have decided that I’m goin to be selling all of my birds. It has come with lots of thought and a tough decision, but I’ve realized I just don’t have the means to do it the way I want to. With that being said, I need help on pricing my birds. Not trying to get rich but also not...
About 2 months ago I bought 8 peachicks to hopefully introduce some new colors/patterns to my flock in a few years. This is my first real experience with chicks, since everything else I have bought as yearlings or adults. They were supposed to be 2 each out of a bronze pen, peach pen, purple...
So I found a local guy that has year old peahens for sale. We picked up a cameo and a pied hen for $220 for the pair. He had some sort of BS hen but I couldn’t tell if she was just India blue or if she had a color gene to. He referred to her as a cameo white cross, but my old lady thinks she’s...
Does this hen look like a silver pied to you guys? To me it just seems like a higher white or a “loud” pied, but I’m not sure cuz I don’t have much experience with them.
So my gf and I are considering getting a pair of emus. We would be getting them as chicks so we could raise them to be friendly and tolerate the animals, but I know despite best efforts it doesn’t always work out.
We live on about 3.25 acres and our hopes are to allow them to stay out with our...
I’m looking into putting up a building to expand my peafowl breeding project in the next year or so. My first idea was to make a 10’x30’ shelter divided into 3 10x10 pens with 20-30’ runs attached.
After discussing with my gf we shifted the idea into making the building larger, I was baffled...
So I have the opportunity to pick up 3-2 year old IB males for $25 each. The guy told me that he’s gotten a few cameo chicks over the past few years offspring. All his birds came from the same 2 parents, both IB obviously with someone carrying cameo, so they should have the same odds of carrying...
I have 2 red golden pheasants for sale. Both male and a little over a year old, really starting to look good with colors coming in. They are missing some feathers, previous owners chickens didn’t get along to well with them. I don’t want to sell them, but we just don’t have enough space or time...
I have about 20 Serama chicks for sale with more hatching every couple days. Age ranges from a couple days to a couple months old. We are in Northwest Indiana and I work in south Chicagoland so I can meet, but we do not ship. $15 each, pm if you’d like more info or pics.
So I recently hatched a lone peachick, purple bs I believe, and we’re looking to get it a companion(s). Currently we have it housed in a Rubbermaid storage container in the spare bedroom. Now, I’m trying to set up a larger pen to house them when it’s time to move them out of the house.
I have a...
Does anyone have peachicks for sale? Only had one hatch and it’s lonely. Looking for something around a week old. Open to any colors except blues, whites, or plain blackshoulders. Pm me with what you have.

So I just hatched out my first, and only, peachick this year and I have a few concerns about it.
1. Can I raise only one peachick by itself? I have it in the brooder by itself and it seems lonely, peeping all the time.
2. I noticed that it took awhile for it to dry, and in some spots it...
So this morning, just like any other weekend morning, I got up to let the dogs out at the “request” of my gf. Just as I was about to open the door i saw some birds walking around by the deck. I didn’t have my contacts in yet, and seeing as our geese free range, I assumed it was them with their...
I have 2 peahens with my peacock, a bronze WE BS and an IB WE, both 2 years old and the cock is 3.
This is the first breeding year for all of them. My bronze hasn’t layed a single egg yet and my blue layed 6. All of them developed a respiratory issue and my blue stopped laying, but it was...
I have 6 goslings for sale right now with more hatching every couple of days. They range from 2-10 days old and possibly a little older. The father is tolouse with 1 tolouse mother and 2 African mothers so it’s possible for pure tolouse or crossed with African. The parents are very protective of...
I have a pair of Toulouse and African geese that are hatching their own eggs. We pull the babies as soon as they’re dry and put them in a separate brooder box and so far all 10 of them have made it. My girlfriend now wants to see if they can raise their own. I am hesitant because I know we’ll...
So I’m new to peafowl and have a basic grasp on genetics so far. I get that there are colors and patterns and that both can exist in a single bird. My real question is can 2 colors exist in the same bird? I have a bronze WE cock, bronze WE BS hen, IB WE hen, and a new purple hen. My purple is in...
Looking for some adult cayugas to add to our flock. Had a trio but our drake and a hen disappeared recently and we are having a hard time finding them locally. Anybody know of anyone in the Illinois/Indiana area that has some? Would be willing to have them shipped if not local.
I’m new to peafowl but have loved them ever since hearing the cry of my neighbors as a child. I currently have one India blue female but “lost” my male in January. I say lost because he disappeared, the last time seen was in a tree in the backyard and no sign of him since. Still hoping he...
