i have two young peafowl, one is white one is either a spaulding or java; they were born end of Mayish...I have them indoors but they are ready to go outside, being around 2 months. Will they need to be off the ground still? or can they be in a seperate little run, on the ground? And, do they...
At the end of the day, be it dog, cat, chicken or lizard....some just get to us more than others. I know in my life of caring for and loving all my critters, some just go way before I am ready to let go. They stay in my heart forever, I call them Soul Pets. and its kind strange, that each and...

I had the same issue with a little black silkie. the hens she grew up with turned on her, almost killed her, I put her witht eh Seramas,, they too picked on her. I tried to slowly reinto in a seperate cage for a couple weeks. Let her out and after a few days, they almost killed her again. She...
yes she does, I paid 30 for 6 eggs. If you search on craigslist, do Bev Davis in the High Desert...she is up kinda near Riverside. Her name is Shaunna. She is verynice and offered me two chicks to replace the two that hatched very red! She said that they may turn out with too much copper...
I bought them from a High Desert breeder...I have to take her work they are BD, since I didnt get them directly but, they re def VERY VERY dark, and all feathered legs and 5/6 hatched so Im thrilled!
So, today , 5 out of 6 (Bev Davis line) eggs hatched; 4 perfectly, one pipped at wrong end, was touch and go...had to assist but she pulled through and is wonderful! 3 are traditional, black with the white. all have feathered legs, and two are more of a rusty color? All came from EXTREMELY dark...
Thanks re Antibiotics, thats what I thought. I hope this is a good sign, I just fed them soft boiled egg yolk, and he wouldnt even let her get near it; he is just gobbling it up! Thanks again for the support! I just LOVE my chickens~!!! Idoubt that any of you understand...
I incubated 24 Golden Cuckoo Marans, 2 hatched. First the roo then the girl. He was very alert, she was a bit slow. She pasted up for a moment on day 2, he has never. It seems that today, day 4, she seems ok and he seems a bit quiet/slower. Drinking ok, his weight and all seem perfect. I put up...
So, from the first batch, all but one hatched on day 19 and 20 in the carton. I will wait and see for the last one, because today is 21. Same thing with the next batch I put in yesterdy, all are pipping! Two concerns with the carton; one hatched so extremely wet, I dont think she was quite...
Last summer, my chickens and 2 Guineas were about 8 months old, we were living on a mountain and we would see the occasional rattler. One day, I see my Ovchartka (who loves to chase lizards) tear off towards the chicken coop. The chickens and Guineas started screaming, I ran over and saw a...
