Hello everyone. My peahen laid 2 eggs, then one very soft egg then stopped over 4 weeks ago. She is the same coop with our 2 males. Last year, when they turned 2, I had to separate them during mating season because of the fighting. This year, they are generally civil to each other, while the...
My female duck Sandy has been limping which happens sometimes to a few of them once in a while. Few days resting and they are always back to normal. I even separated my dominating male, lovingly named the AHole but also goes by Ferd, because I felt he was the reason (mating season coming full...
Hi! We are located in New Brunswick Canada and it's calling for -28 c Friday during the night. Should we be concerned for our peafowls? They have a 9 x 11 shed attached to their coop but it is not insulated. We are thinking about hanging a heating dish but wonder if it's necessary.
My females Harlequin and now Cayuga have been laying on their eggs for two weeks approximately. First time for both of them and for us too as duck owners. They are in their own coop with the Cayuga male. This morning I found two caved in eggs in the the front corner of the coop. What could...
My indian blue peacock (almost 1 year old) lost his back toe nail a while ago. We noticed he started limping and upon closer view, his back toe is curled inward (see picture). It's not getting better, not sure what I can do to help and should I be worried this can lead to serious problems...
We have two males in our flock of mix ducks. One male is a Cayuga and I also have a female Cayuga in the flock. I would like to separate both of them in early summer to breed. I know my other male, a Swedish Blue, will have had his way with my female Cayuga before I separate her with the male...
We want to make sure our new peafowls shed keeps warm, especially during the winter. Thinking of installing a dog door 12inch x 16inch. Will they use it?
We hatched 5 ducklings in April, 2 males and 3 females (mix of Swedish Blue, Kaki Campbell and Pekin). One of the drakes tail feather curled while the other we noticed curled a few days ago. At the same time, we got a pair of East Indie Ducks (1 year old drake and a few month old female). The...
My 2 month old peachicks living arrangements in our home is not working as much anymore. During the day I move them to a cage outside (if not raining) and then at night they go back inside. But I'd like to move them permanently outside in a bigger cage raised of the ground before their final...
Here are photos of my 3 peachicks. First 2 are around 6-7 weeks and last one is 4 weeks old. I’m quite curious to know your thoughts on the sexe of each bird.
My 4 week old peachick’s right leg has me concerned. It bends inward not like his left. Hopefully the picture helps. Is there something I should do, should I be concerned? Also, it’s feathers have started to change and he is starting to grow his head feathers. But I noticed a lump under...
