    Free ranging

    It can be done if you are careful but there's an old adage "never free range a bird you aren't prepared to lose". This is especially true of hens sitting on nests.

    Black shoulder hen with blue eyes?

    Eye color is not linked to any sort of color or pattern. It's just a basic recessive on its own.

    is it a black shoulder peacock? please help

    to answer the question of mixing there isn't really any "mxiing" In peafowl unless one is speaking of Green peafowl/ Blue peafowl hybrids. Given that besides hybrids there are no breeds only color varieties you can't really mix them the way the word is usually used. Think of it like this. If...

    Once again I would like to know from the larger breeders what is the best incubator for peafowl eggs

    We get 3 major bottlenecks for chick mortality here. If they get past 2 weeks they made it through one. 3 months and 6 months respectively, and their first winter. If they can make those they're doing pretty good. We have to remember too that peas tend to self cull very vigorously with...

    peafowl vs. chickens

    I would not say they are harder so much as they are not forgiving if you don't raise them right. They kind of get the reputation for being hard because people get them and get stubborn and ODD about giving proper care because they have had chickens and think that they know what they're doing...

    Peacock info

    Here in WI they need shelter to reliably make it through winter. I heat both the blues/blue mutations and greens. I used to to heat just the greens but I would lose birds to hypothermia here and there which got hard to bear. Now The greens are kept at around 45f and the Blues at 35-40F. I also...

    Question: White peafowl with one dark feather?

    If it shows a singular non white feather and the feather is not just a one off then technically you could argue it as just being a silver pied.

    Leg bands for ID

    I use leg bands for family trees in my mutations. In my Greens I ONLY use world pheasant association closed bands as they are stud book birds.

    Flame Golden pheasant

    Is there any solid origin story and genetic makeup known for this mutation? The only page that talks about them is not very well written and looking at the chicks and birds they seem to be a sport out of birds carrying or showing dark throat. I don't see much difference between them and am...

    Distinguishing Blackshoulders

    There are often alot of requests to color ID blackshoulder males and hens. This is extremely difficult if not impossible if parents are not known in the hens given how many new mutations there are and how many look similar. Here are some general groupings that might narrow it down for telling...
