    color identification and breeding questions

    We have two cocks, one India Blue and one Purple. We were told the purple was a black shoudered purple. He seems to be the only one who breeds and chases off the India Blue who is the younger of the two cocks. We have one white hen and I don't know the color of the other hen. Here she is...

    Pea chick hatched July 17, 2014/Color?/Gender?

    The hen is white and we believe the cock to be our purple black shoulder (???) and not our India blue. The Purple though smaller is very dominant over the blue and chased him away this breeding season, hence we think its our purple cock as sire. (our peafowl are free range). We did coop the hen...

    Redwood incubator, Montgomery Ward (Leahy) problems, need someone local if possible

    Not sure if this is right place to post a *help* with incubator problem. I'm a blithering idiot when it comes to certain things, such as thermostats, coils, electrical etc., I picked up a small redwood incubator, the seller had replaced the thermostat with another wafer thermostat. The...

    How old before they start laying eggs, breeding?

    We have a few peafowl, we *think* one white hen (but need to get a pic of her/him), one India Blue, one Purple black shoulder? and another that I am not quite sure of (will put pic here). The blue, purple males are just 2 and same for white hen. The one with pic is just 1 yr. Can we expect any...

    peachicks available?

    We are looking for some peachicks to raise. We have chicken chicks, turkey poults all successfully hatched and in our brooder and would like to include some pea chicks. Anyone have some to ship? We are in Oregon and have a nice brooder/heat lamp setup. Thanks.

    Sorry, another processing question

    We've butchered our birds, dunked them in cold water but how in the world do you get them so the meat is soft and pliable (like store bought chicken) and the legs tuck neatly (and elastically) against the sides of the bird? Every time we go to put them in the freezer when we are done, their legs...

    I support the NAIA which supports pet ownership, right to farm etc., and I just received an email, kudos to Washington and Oregon egg producers for passing their own husbandry ordinances. 14. No discussions about animal rights organizations or Cock fighting

    Help....3 week old chicks

    We found one of our chicks (purchased, not hatched), an Orp, seemingly bottom heavy, like one of those plastic dolls with a sand bottom that you can hit and it comes right back up? This chick could not balance itself and *seemed* like it could not poop and everything was jamming up. so I...

    incubator temp question

    Try as we will, our hatches have been hit n miss. My question is this, how much influence does the outside room temps and fluctuations affect the incubator since it is controlled thermostatically to adjust for those variations? I live in western Oregon where its been cool and very damp, more...

    chamomile flowers?

    We live on 113+ acres and in the summertime it is awash in yellow chamomile flowers. I wonder if there would be a market for them? I mean literally thousands and thousands of flowers.

    I'm soooo bummed!!

    I posted on here a few weeks ago that I had helped a lady with placing her numerous peafowl by taking some of them. I originally was supposed to get 3 hens and one cock from her but she brought EIGHT including two whites. She said to keep them locked up a couple of weeks and only let the males...

    Harvesting wood on own property?

    We have two GINORMOUS trees that would help provide income since I've lost my source of income back in November and haven't been able to find new sources yet (still trying tho'). One is a giant oak tree that would take at least 4 people to encircle the trunk and before yelling at me, it's...

    I thought we were a hatching failure...but.....

    Having had some so-so successful hatches with our own eggs encouraged us to purchase eggs from others. These eggs were shipped and of course, our already so-so hatch rate of about 45-50% made us hopeful we'd be able to hatch out purchased eggs. Like throwing money out the window (for us anyway)...

    Fertile eggs!!

    Our lovely Narangansett hens are FINALLY laying and upon breaking several eggs open, they ARE fertile.....YAY!!! I have some local folks who are interested in buying/hatching out. What is the average price on a fertile turkey egg? I don't have a lot to spare but am more than willing to share...

    Wow, a load of peafowl!!

    We've never had pea fowl and found a lady needing to find a good home for several of her birds (I think she has over 50?? but don't quote me!). She and her husband brought down some beautiful birds albeit not in the best shape because they had to be cooped due to getting on neighbor's roof and...

    Fresh, laid today egg with odd thing in yolk?

    My son cracked open a freshly laid egg for breakfast from this morning and we found an odd, dark semi circular thing at one end of it. At first it looked like a tick in the yolk and as I wiped it off the yolk with my finger, unfortunately smearing it a bit, a little blood oozed out. Is this a...

    Total Bummer Day!

    Yesterday afternoon, a huge rain and wind storm knocked a monster sized tree down a few houses down from me, taking out electricity and phone/DSL at 3 pm. Electricity finally came back on today at 11 am. We tried our best to keep the eggs warm but with temps outside in the high 30s, despite...
