I sure will tonight as soon as my husband is home to help me (not an easy task to do with 8 kids most toddlers running around) lol ....I need to post some anyway to make sure the man really gave me a male lol
Thanks Kathy that would be a great help.
And Trefoil thanks. I am not counting on it as I don't know for sure if it's an issue in my area I am just mainly checking in to see how others have and still do things and whats worked for different people. I plan to call the vets and such and see...
We have found a vet about an hour from us. How often is best to worm them? And I live in South Carolina my land was just woods before we bought it it's just been cleared and everything within the past 6 months and our home was put here immediately so it's never been used for any type of fowl...

I wish I could let mine free roam but our neighbors do have dogs that roam and I would hate to have one of my babes get hurt or worse ... I guess my main question should really be do they need to be housed off ground at 9 weeks old and if so for how long

My name is Alicia. I see this site is for chickens but I found it while researching peacocks. Myself my husband and our 7 kids decided to finally jump into raising peacocks I have loved them for many years! Any advice or help would be appreciated! .... I know it will be a rough ride at first...
