    Pheasants with Peafowl

    I've had Alaskan, Red Golden and now Reeves Pheasants in with my Peafowl. They have all done alright. No territorial issues as the peafowl have overhead perches to get away from whatever bothers them including me.

    Big air spaces...is this a problem?

    Obviously, you realize that this little puff is NOT really a chicken, is it? Looks like a new edition of the family to me.

    Is our Zebra Finch a female or male?

    A Zebra finch male has orange cheeks and and reddish brown patch with dots pattern under the wing. The lighter one that you have pictured looks like a male that is mutated in color. But it still looks like orange on the cheek and a very light spotted pattern under the wing. If so, they are both...

    They actually go in the barn at dusk and are closed up. Then they are released in the morning to go about their business.

My pheasants, peacocks and quail do great, but ebay eggs are a crap shoot. At an animal auction last month I picked eggs that were laying in the bottom of cages from birds...

    Who has purchased eggs from ebay ? and what was your hatch rate ?

    I have two of the big three shelf GQF incubators out in the barn, but this year I splurged and got a Brinsea 20 for the house. After the first couple weeks I decided to order the turner too. Everything that I have put in there has had some positive turn out. Wild turkeys, white peacocks...

    Who has purchased eggs from ebay ? and what was your hatch rate ?

    I purchase eggs quite often through eBay. I find the the closer to your location the better the hatch rate. The more common the bird the better the rate. Everyone seems to blame the USPS for your results, but it really matters about the care taken into shipping --i.e. bubble wrap, not a sliver...

    Illinois...

    Sorry, I only have Eastern Wild Turkey chicks. I live in Edinburg. I have turkey eggs hatching right now in the incubator. I let the hen have some but that did not work out. The Tom likes to walk on them. I have five already hatched and two pipping, with two more due this week. Then it will...
