Per a request, I am sharing some photos I took today, of my neighbor's turkey hen. All of their other turkeys, including her siblings, look like regular turkeys but for whatever reason, her whole head is feathered quite thickly for a turkey. I cracked up when she came over to see us! They named...
I would like to see everyone's old biddies. I have a hen that's a few months shy of 11 (Joslin, hatched july 27th, 2012!), and I'd like to see some other grandma and grandpa birds, for fun.
Here's Joslin, for tax, teaching her (adopted) children how to cool off in the water pans:
Hello! I know I'm not around much anymore, but I thought I would pop in and say that I've been handed the reins to the Peafowl Image Database website, (previously found at peafowlimagedatabase.weebly.com, now on its own domain, http://peafowldatabase.com although the old link will still...
I am looking to add a couple of birds to my flock, so I am starting to look early. I would prefer to hatch birds alongside my peafowl, who will begin laying toward the end of next month, but can buy at any time if you're ready to sell immediately. I am happy to buy eggs directly, but if you...
I am currently working on a spreadsheet which deals with peafowl genetics because I've been asked a lot of questions about offspring and combinations etc and I wanted it written down. It is NOT AT ALL complete, I only started designing and filling it out like a week ago, but I am getting toward...
Due to some health issues late last fall (which turned out to be, of all things, food allergies!! To their normal chow!!! :barnie), I had a baby in the house over winter. Being.... me, I decided may as well train the lady while she's in my space.
So, she learned the normal commands (there are...
My purple pen is currently laying, and I will soon have set all the eggs I want to for the year. As such, I am listing batches of eggs to ship starting April 15th. We will I accept payment through PayPal (I can email an invoice to be paid by credit card, too, I believe).
The first two batches...
My purple pen is currently laying, and as I have set all the eggs I want to for the year, I am listing batches of eggs to ship. We are NPIP certified, and our flock ID is 34-645. I accept payment through PayPal (I can email an invoice to be paid by credit card, too, I believe). Eggs are $10...
I am selling one group of 6+ genetic hackle hatching eggs to be shipped Monday, 4/2/18. They will be eggs laid closest to the shipping date, from the pen with my red male over two black barred, one dilute black barred, and one solid black duckwing female. The male comes from Baxter House...
So... does anyone have any pics of peach peachicks? Preferably very young ones, but honestly any age would do. Even better if they are in comparison to purple and/or cameo chicks (or pied purple/cameo chicks!).
My purple pen is finally laying this year, and my other pen, where my male is split...
Been a long time since I actually sold eggs, so here we go for a one-week-of-eggs sale!
Eggs will be from both pens, whoever is laying. Pen #1 is a pied purple boy (possibly split blackshoulder) over BS purple and BS pied purple hens. Pen #2 is dark pied blue split cameo boy over 2 blue pied, 1...
These eggs have been claimed! Thank you!
So, I am not turning on my incubator this year (I tested eggs with a friend instead) and I just got back from a 2-week vacation and while I had someone come pick up the eggs from the first week, there are a couple dozen unclaimed eggs from 6/4 to today...
Does anyone here know if metronidazole and ivermectin can be given the same day? I gave my girl her ivermectin injection for the spring today but given her yellow stool today, after a bit of looking into it, I'd like to give her a dose/treatment run of metronidazole as well.
So I kind of skipped town on these forums for...a long time, just as the Sonja' s violeta mutation was starting up. I vaguely recall seeing a picture or two of young ones.
So my question is this - has that name settled down to violet or is there a new violet mutation? I have a friend who is...
My imprinted girl, Beep, after acting weird all day, laid her very first egg and she was very dramatic about the whole process. I happened to be home, and happened to have my phone on me when she started making a fuss, and she wanted to be literally in my lap when she did it, so I got it very up...
This listing is for peafowl eggs!
My pen is currently a blue dark pied (out of silver pied) male over a w/e hen and two pied hens. (For transparency's sake, he also has a cameo hen, a purple hen, a purple pied hen, and a BS purple pied hen in with him, but they are young and I would be...
I went to update my Peafowl 101 post in the peafowl forums, and found that I couldn't. I was advised to create a page for it instead, which I have done. However, the categories where one can create pages is extremely limited- this is not a member page, nor is it a chicken, coop, or law/ordinance...
So, I went out to the Indiana Wolf's Creek swap meet this morning and I found a guy that was selling a solo peahen, a pair, and a trip of these oddly colored... purples? I asked him what they are and he told me "cameo" but one look at any of them, they were very clearly not cameo. The group of...
Okay, so this morning I went to the Imlay swap in Michigan. I picked up two peahens, a purple pied and a BS purple pied. Now, at home I have a purple pied peahen already, but she's NOT the same color visually as the purple pied I just picked up. So here's a picture of the three of them together...
