Thanks WillGriffin03
I reread my question and spell correct put in hen instead of Peahen. I don't mix different fowl I was wondering do the Peacocks when there is more than one if they fight with each other to be the flock leader or can I add another Peacock in later years?
I was wondering if you can keep the more than one Peacocks together in with the peahens and if so how many.
Also, would they have to have been brought up (flock/litter mates) together?
I have 2 adult Peahen now, their mate passed away last spring I am getting one male but the guy is also...
It should have come with a thermometer I bought 2 of these from Brinsea and both included it, one thermometer came with an air bubble and they replaced It although it was a little like pulling teeth I wish I had the money for the next one up but figured with a regular thermometer things would...
Thank you for the reply, I was very confused not many sites or books tell you to let it set after slaughtering your fowl. I had just stumbled on something that said let it rest but really didn't say why, even Storey's book didn't mention much about it and me I just like to know every thing...
The chick will sing at random doesn't matter the time of day or night, it's nice to hear a little bit of spring when it is cold outside, I have to admit. I do know which Cuckoo Marans chick it is
I use regular lights on a timer in my coop to keep them laying in the winter, I just keep it within the summer hours of day light so they stay consistent year round and I up their laying pellets from 16%to 18% and/or 20% a really great quality name brand in the coldest of winter so their body...
Is there one sex over another that would make this sound in 1week old chicks ? I have about 15- 1week old chicks and just 1 loves to chirp like a Canary or a song bird.
I have 2 Bringer 20octo manual turn, so I have to open the incubators 2 to 3 times a day to turn eggs. I find between 40% & 50% works well up to 3days before hatching then between 60% & 65% for the last 3days keep it that high until you feel all eggs are done hatching I say "until you feel all...
I am thinking outside the box...I had gone on vaca an left my chicks with my daughter.
I came back everyone was fine. But coop needed some cleaning nothing odd.n Mind you I use a plastic hanging feeder
it has plastic dividers attached to it and I never had problem befoe.
So when I got home I...
Thank you for input, Birdrain92, I understand what you mean light and dence ect.
I will be taking notes as they hopefully progress.
You really don't find much information on line about hatching peafowl eggs. Our peafowl don't seem to have intrest on setting and I have no broody hens.
I am the...
question....the first 7 days in the incubator should you turn them
I realize with chicken eggs you don't because of the embryo could break away from the veins
is that also true for peafowl eggs.?
Thank you for your time
Thank you, I have tried last year to hatch eggs and had a lot of quiters out of 4 , three got to the vein stage and the 4th got to just about formed stage. I did have the humidity up there too :/Thank god they were from my own peafowl. They are such a frail bird from conception to adult.
Has anyone tried DRY Incubation (no humidity) the First few weeks of incubation with Peafowl eggs.
If so, could you tell me about when and how much humidy was added.
I have tried it for chicken eggs and it worked very well for chicken eggs.
My incubator is a Brinsea 20 Octo Econ. circulated...
