I’m curious what color this peahen is I believe she is cameo. I have seen some so called cameos that look like her and also some much darker. Also what should I breed her with of course if I can get another breeding aged cameo male I will breed them. But as of right now I have a 5yr old white...

Hello earlier this year I bought a 10 to 12 year old pair of emus to add to the flock (total of 7 emus today). I live in Michigan and am not sure when the laying season is here. Last year I bought eggs here in Michigan in February (some of the eggs were laid christmas time, late December). I’m...

Lately (this past Saturday today is Thursday) I purchased 4 new emus, 2, year and a half males and a 10+ year old pair(they are also housed with three of my young emu chicks all getting along well). All the males are doing great switching right over to my regular feed. But the female doesn't...

I guess I spoke to soon saying I have yet to have a problem. Welp one of my chicks (over 2 months but under 3 months old) is sick or acting rather odd. It is the smallest chick the egg only weighed 525 when I put it in the incubator this winter. Well he/she is not running around nearly as much...

Recently(noticed yesterday)one of my male red goldens is acting out of the ordinary. He seems to tilt his head up towards the sky and at times throws his head all around in circles. He doesn't run from me but attempts to get away. His diet is fine as I've raised pheasants for quite a few years...

I'm going to start construction for an enclosure for my babies pretty darn soon. We have 500ft of 2 by 4 in welded utility wire 6 foot tall and plenty of treated posts plus 2 by 4s to put on the top of the fence to keep it sturdy. I would just like some advice on what you wish you would have...

I'll be traveling through Ohio and Kentucky(plus home state of Michigan) next weekend and was hoping that I could find some young/mature opal and mature cameo hens for sale. I know it's very unlikely especially since breeding season is just starting up but crossing my fingers.

I have read frilled don't mate as easily as other breeds/mutations. And that some people trim the vent feathers. Do I need to do anything special for them to mate? I'm just curious before I put up nest boxes for my frills.

Okay, today I got a new IB peahen I noticed the bumble foot but i wasn't too concerned and not afraid to treat her. But I don't really want to put to much stress on her as she was caught by net today and now I'm looking for a treatment that won't be to invasive I was thinking penicillin...

I have done a lot of research on this topic but cannot find a direct answer. Today is day 50 for my eggs and I need help to figure out when to stop turning.

Im wanting to purchase some different color mutations and curious if these prices are okay for some peafowl both are 2 years old I would like them a bit cheaper but never raised different color mutations besides black shoulder, whites, and India blues (also pieds). Opal Spalding dark pied...

Here are my first chicks of the year/season so excited to hatch more out!

I usually don't have problems with identifying eggs but this stumped me. In this cage I have some peafowl including some females but this was not a peahen egg. I also have some frilled pigeons, bobwhite quail, and some coturnix quail. So what do you all think? By the way I don't want to...

Hello I have raised many different types of poultry and would like to add some swans to the mix. Any kind would work but preferable mutes (I hear they are cheaper) and I was also wonder if there is any breeders that sell eggs? But my main question is if there is any breeders in Michigan?

This thread will show the progress of my newly acquired emu eggs and include questions I have and hopefully answers. Hello today I got my first emu hatching eggs. I bought five eggs for $100 a pretty fair price in my opinion am in others I have asked. Here is a picture of the eggs when I first...

I am going to buy around five emu eggs and have found a lot of information on raising adult birds but little on raising baby birds. I have a few questions about broody and hatching and probably will have more to come as this adventure continues. Any response is greatly appreciated. 1).What do...
