Hi everyone! Just wanted to stop by to show the latest progress of River and his feathers! One of these days I will get a picture of him with them fanned out. He’s still goes into the coop on his own with the chickens, guineas and turkey each night to roost.
Try to find my post titled “Oopsie peafowl”. I was sold a peafowl as a turkey. My peacock, chickens, turkeys and guineas all coexist together. They all free range except for my Tom, my male Guinea and my rooster because they were on the verge of killing my hens during mating season so they have...
