I have been trying to breed for Indian Blue Black Shoulder pied. I started with in Indian Blue Pied male on a black shoulder females. The resulting offspring so far have given me Indian Blue pieds, Indian Blues and Black Shoulders but no Black Shoulder pied. I was just wondering if there was...
How to tell if a blackshoulder chick is pied or not? As the blackshoulder chicks are cream/white how would you know if it was an actual pied or not? Anyone have pictures of the difference?

My peahen has 4 eggs in her house but has not decided to set yet. The temperatures are supposed to be upwards of 92F for the next couple days, will this start the incubation process? Not sure I should take them away and put them under a hen or leave them with her, I really want them to hatch...
Just wondering, there seems to be a lot of different dosages for fenbendazole. Is it 3 mls by mouth for 3 days or 5 days and then repeat all 3 or 5 days in 10 days time? Or 3mls by mouth once or??

He was sickly when I got him. Baytril seemed to clear it up but it obviously sneaked back when I wasn't paying attention and by the time I noticed he was sick again it was too late...

My yearling Blackshoulder males are much darker than this one, are you sure that's what he is??

Would you sell just one peacock to a person who has none? I have someone wanting just one (male) peacock. I happen to have one that was going to the auction soon but I am not sure I want to sell him to be alone for the rest of his life. Although I can't control who buys him or what situation...
I sexed my white male peacock by eggshell. I was desperate to know it wasn't yet anotehr female. The eggshell route was a little more expensive than the blood but I din't have to wait for the card or anything. As he was the only one that hatched knew which shell was his:)
I used this company...
Have to echo what others have said before me. Sorry you are having to give up the birds but really appreciate the information that you have passed on to many through the forum. I have learned a lot from going through the postings. I hope you get through this and get to spend lots of quality...
