Yes, I can appreciate the multiple Nashville Roads:) They cross this way and that. I would have thought they would give some of these roads their own names that Brown County is so famous for like Sick Milk Bottoms Road and Less Traveled Road. We are at the dead end of Deer Trails across from...

Thanks for putting us on the list. We are really looking forward to coming. Could you mean Salt Creek? I'm not sure where Sugar Creek runs through Brown County. We are just off State Road 46 by the winery, about a mile back in the woods. We have 25 acres and the chickens love running around...

My wife Carmen and I would like to attend and possibly bring a friend. We live in Gnawbone just outside Nashville In. We have around 60 Chickens. 8 Peacocks, 6 Chinese Pheasants and a white turkey. We plan on bringing some sort of covered dish. I'll have to talk with Carmen and find out what...

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll go with the welded wire. Post holes go in tomorrow. It's going to be a loooong day:)

Here is a link to the guys who will be in the new pen. These pics are from the inside 16x20 pen. The new pen will be just outside this one with a door to access the outside pen. http://picasaweb.google.com/jeffquick61/2010_04_12_Peacocks#

I'm building a new 15x32 outdoor pen for the peas and a few Chinese Pheasants. What would be the best type of fencing? I'm considering chain link or 2x4 welded wire? The fencing will be attached to 4x6 posts and the roof will be metal. My concern is that a raccoon might be able to reach through...

I have 8 peas all approaching about a year old. When do the eyes in the train start to appear? Most of the male necks are now bright blue but the train still has little color. I've read that the train will grow until 3 years of age. Thanks, Jeff

Deerman, As always, thanks for the help. If they don't drink the entire gallon the 1st day, will the medicine be ok for them on day 2? Jeff

I picked up 125 ML bottle of Safe-Guard (fenbendazole) dewormer for goats Suspension 10% at Rural King tonight. http://www.cheappetstore.com/Farm-Livestock/Dewormers-Insecticides/SheepGoat-DewormInsect/Safeguard-Goat-Dewormer-125-ml-32294/ I have pen with 8 peacocks all about 8 months old...

I'm worming my peafowl for the 1st time this week. I have 8 peacocks sharing a pen with 7 Red Chinese Pheasants and a couple Frizzle chickens. I know mixing chickens & peafowl is not recommended but they have been together since almost birth. All are around 8 months old. The only worming...

We use leaves for ours peacocks and chickens. We live on 25 acres of forest and leaves are in abundance here:) The birds love to peck though them and they make great additions to the compost pile when we strip pens. Anyone have any reason for not using leaves? Jeff

I'm getting ready to strip pens and thought about putting some lime down to keep the smell down. This will be for my peacock and chicken pens. Our local rural king has AGLIME on sale. Is this the kind I want to use? It's a long drive out there & don't want to make a trip & find out it would...

Is the show in Spencer a large poultry show? We live just outside Nashville In Gnaw Bone. If it's worth the trip, we may take a drive over. Jeff

Once again, many thanks guys for the detailed replies. Great help!!! Jeff

Many thanks to all who replied. I was hoping for mostly males and this worked out well. A couple questions: 1) The person I bought most of these from explained that a Loud Pied is mostly dark with small patches of white, while a pied is mostly white with small patches of color. Is this...

I have uploaded pics of my recovering peacocks/pheasants (see sick peacocks post) and uploaded to: http://picasaweb.google.com/jeffquick61 I have each album labeled with individual peacocks. The pheasant album has 2 pics of two individual Red Golden Pheasants If this isn't the best way to...

I finally got back in town last night & thanks to my neighbor, I got a hold of some 24 g needles. All birds in the barn got injections of Tylan in the breast around midnight last night. Amazingly the major eye swelling & drainage have stopped today. It looks like all are on the mend. One white...

thanks for the reply. 16g was the smallest they had. If this is too large, I'll have to wait until Monday to see if my local vet has anything smaller. Also I've been doing a lot of research on dosage. It varies wildly on the amount I should inject and how often to inject (one a day for 3 days...

Our local Tractor Supply DID carry Tylan 50. I picked up a 100 ML bottle last night along with 16 G needles. I plan on giving shots tomorrow when I get back home. A shot in the breast is the best place to give them? These are 1/2" needles. Is this too long to give a shot directly in or should...

Unfortunately it may be CRD. The pheasants look to be only affected in one eye. I did notice pus when I cleaned the eye with a warm rag a few minutes ago. I did not notice any smell from the nasal discharge. It was clear and odorless. Will Tylan treat CRD? The little research I have been able...
