The BQO History:
Black Quechua Olmec are an ancient landrace from South America and an intriguing enigma...
They aren't production layers, however they lay longer into life than production birds. I have some reasonably old birds that still lay pretty well every spring.
As with any fibromelanistic bird, expression of fibro depends on a bunch of things, not the least of which is how many copies of the Fm gene they get. Expression is also affected by feather color, a fibro-inhibitive gene, the presence of dominant white, sex-linked factors - lots of things. So...
Thank you, that is great info. How do your peafowl react to strangers in the yard? I have young kids... and they have young friends! obviously they could never be in a position to mistreat the pea, but they would be strangers.
Thanks for your input... Much appreciated! Will definitely aim to keep one roo and some hens to keep him around. Will be free ranging after a significant "this is where you live" period!
