Hello everyone,
I was very excited last week to believe that I might at least have one male peafowl out of my group of four peachicks. I noticed green/slight blue on the shoulder/neck of one peachick. I went out last night to feed and 3/4 now have color on the base of their neck/shoulder and...
Hello,
I have 4 chicks that are 2 months old. I was sitting with them today when I saw green! What does this mean? Only one, all 4 pictures are of the same bird, has the green on its shoulder/neck so far. Are boys the only ones with color correct? The chicks was sold to me as Black...
I had to work today. I just got my new babies this week and wanted to water and feed all the houses and pens. Well, there is no longer any need for the toliet but I do need to clean myself up. I know this is a harmless snake but my mind and my boday do not react the same. I HATE SNAKES! I...
Hi, today was the day we got our new peachicks. They are one month old. I sat their box on the kitchen table's chair and told the kids not to open the box. My daughter wanted to see them before we put them in their building. I opened the box and the kids looked in then I shut it. I told her...
if you mate a IB to IB do you always get IB?
BS x BS = BS?
WHITE X WHITE = WHITE?
Pied x Pied = Pied?
And so on......... Do peafowl breed true or is it whatever is in their past so the chick that hatches.....SURPRISE? I was reading that their are only two true colors and the rest are just a...
Hello,
I will be receiving my peachicks next week and was working of their own pen. I was thinking of using my existing privacy fence about 6ft high. I was going to attach the cattle panel to top 2x4 brace of the privacy fence and then round the panel over for a hoop. The coop would be...
is it me or my chickens? does anyone else have this problem: my chickens would rather sit on their nest than call it good and show the chicks that hatched how to eat/drink. how soon do you throw away the "extra" eggs and make them see that's all the chicks they are getting? i had three hatch...

2. i sold the mixed up mutts several years ago. i wanted APA standards & better quality.

I am interested in getting a SMALL pure breed of goat that my kids and I can take care of fairly easily. They need to get along with the chickens and kids so much be docile.

Do you have any ideas on what I can...
I am interested in expanding my little flock to buff large fowl Cochin and mottled black bantams these are my first two choices right now and possibly more. Who will be breeding/selling these come spring? any recommendations?

I go outside to feed/water and check on my chickens. They are in a 100% inclosed house with runs attached to every house inside a fenced property. There is a dog running around the outside of the coop and it can not figure out how to get them. It runs up and down the fence line. I tell the...
hello, has anyone done a 4H journal with their child & how did you show making a profit on your poultry? Are u selling on line, local or other? I am npip but want to make sure that this is listed for that reason. Any advice would be awesome & thank you.
I gave for free some friends of mine some chicks I hatched of my own flock that was extra. They have never had chickens before. They & their kids were very happy with the babies. They have had them three months. They came to me today and stated all of them, every juvenile is dead. They all...
I am interested in what anyone has to say about these two birds. I know the lighter on is a boy (he crows) but I am thinking the darker is a girl. What do you think? Do they have good crest? What about color? Would you post your pictures of partridge?
thinking girl?
boy for sure...
Hi everyone,
I am so excited. I love poultry. I had fowl as a child with my parents and again now as a adult for several years with my children. We have Cochin and Silkies. I can not decide which I prefer. lol I do have a question.
How long do you line breed or do you get a new male...
