Hi Kathy, I am also interested in the numbers for the Ivermectin paste. I'm not sure if my peacock has mites, fleas, or lice.. I was watching him napping and noticed that he had a lot of dandruff/chicken dust stuff on his head. I looked closer, and realized they were moving. They are tiny tiny...

I hope it does! They're in with a nice IBBS. :) Just went to check on them and everyone is tucked in comfortably. Hopefully have another egg picture to post soon! :)

I took the risk - they're now safely in the coop with the new rooster. Everyone is getting along fine. I went ahead and put the two eggs I found with them. Two of the hens look like they would be laying at any minute, drooped wings and lifted tails. I am so glad they all came in and are safe...

Yes, we live out in the middle of nowhere with a LOT of predators.. I do understand that she is very vulnerable. I have a coop/pen that they go into willingly, but it currently has the new peacock that I brought home only 10 days ago. He's been doing great, but I did plan to keep him...

Unfortunately it isn't, it's in my backyard. I don't know if I should take them away or not. I doubt they're even fertilized, my male isn't doing so well with the ladies.. I don't know how long they've been there, but at least a day or two. Should I candle them? I would rather lose a couple dud...

I take it that's not how it's supposed to happen? I've only seen my male get as far as the gaspy trumpet phase and then the hen runs away.

Squee! First Pea egg EVER, for me and my Peas. My hens will be two years old this June. I don't have a good enough incubator or broody chickens, so I'm going to just let them try and do their thing. I don't expect much success, they just seem to be putzing around.

Oh! Oh! I love good quotes! "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies" -- Friedrich Nietzsche (a personal favorite)

Haha, thank you! I suppose "mutt" as in mixed breeding wasn't the right word for it. I meant more like nothing rare or special breeding. :)

Also, "noggin' floggin'" had me rolling laughing.

Bringing BoBo has been a decent distraction for him, but I will definitely keep that in mind. I don't have a net, but I really ought to get one. Any suggestions on style/type? Just a plain fishing net? Plastic/filament material or rope netting? Is shorter better for handling, or longer for...

Oh good!! I'm glad to hear that. I hope she finds him a girlfriend so doesn't have to sell him.. I could tell she was torn about selling BoBo. Yes, she is very nice!

The lady that sold BoBo to me and has that Java/H% Spalding said she couldn't find any Java or H% hens for him. I noticed you're in Salado, and she's in Dallas. Do you sell any of your Green hens? She said she was thinking about selling him if she couldn't find any good hens for him. There was a...

This is (supposed to be) his father. And his mother is blue BS. This is Mr. PooPoo. I think he's just a glorified mutt.

Yeah... Went ahead and let myself out. Not sure I want advice from someone that automatically wants to cull birds, 40+ years experience or not. I have no idea if my peacock will get aggressive again, but I'm not going to give up on him that easy. Thank you! He is supposed to be Spalding, but...

There was supposed to be an image of him napping attached. :/ Yes, you probably did! It was on PO. He ate a few stalks of Kale (tore pieces off and tossed to him.) and drank more water. I was just afraid he was going to stress himself (or me!) to death.

Oh thank goodness, he has calmed down.

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted here but with some of the stuff going on in the FB Peacock pages, I thought I'd post here first. Long story shortened, last week I asked for some advice from a specific peacock breeder about my peacock, Mr. PooPoo (the name fits him), that...

Hello all! I am interested in purchasing chicks next Spring or sooner if possible, but would like some advice from ya'll. I'm not a complete newbie to the bird world, but have never had chickens before! So far I have been guided towards the Araucana or Barred Rocks, but am not sure about...
