    Hey! How's it going? Kids are knocking it out of me, but still going, just slowly.... We got rain, and while I'm sure the garden loves it, so do the weeds! They are taller than I am... Ramerez- I still have the little man that I got from you. Chris (DS1 has adopted one of his offsping...

    CricketR4- Hollow is rigtht, be careful around others with anything that can be inhaled, and so on. We only use when we have brought in new, and found, or just found in a check. We never use in the wind, so that it may blow. I usually hold the bird while my hubby sprays, and then I rub it down...

    We always use Permethrin at 10% when we see or suspect bugs on hens. We just have to be careful because we have bees. Although it will not harm us (not a bug) it will harm most exoskeletons (bugs)! It is derived from plant sources, and acts very quickly.

    at what age does male peacock start mating/breeding?

    Do you know if captivity Vs' Roaming will make them healthier, and live longer? I do have the two females in a run that has a netting deal over it. We have had predators issues in the past, and I don't want anything to get hold of them. I make sure that they get greens, berries, and seeds, and...

    at what age does male peacock start mating/breeding?

    I have a question if anyone can clarify. I lost my male, so this makes me even more inquisitive than before. I have India blue females still, and I'm concerned about finding them a suitable male. They need a suit er, of course. How many years can I expect a male to be fertile, once he has...

    Way to go Hollow! There are I think some teachers that stand out from the rest, and I'm not surprised that you are one of them.

    I won't be doing any real selling or hatching this season. If I do, it will only be a small amout for close friends, or my fard. I sold most of the birds off in the fall-winter season. Now I have a lot less mouths to feed. I am getting enough eggs to eat, and even to take a few of the pure Am...

    Get you a bottle of Blue Cote, and Put it right on the spot. I had a Pea-hen bounce up and split her skull open real good on the way home. I called Beth on my way to TSC before they closed. I wanted to be sure that I got the right thing. She advised the one that came with the swab, but they...

    Use heavy gaged wire, not chicken wire, and add lighting around the area. Human presence has helped. Wire at the bottom of runs going under also. We have even added chainlink like dog kennels with a top. I hope you are able to figure it out.

    Ramirez- The thing with the 2 years comes from battery cages. Most know how I feel about that. Birds striped of all nutrients, so humans can buy more for less. ... And people really wonder what is wrong with our economy. I hear people talk about purchasing responsibly, I had better stop...

    We got 2 guineas this year, and I have not set them loose yet. They are close to 2 months old now. They are very different from the Chickens, and I hope they don't wonder to far when I do turn them out.
