I have a peachick I hatched a few days ago and I’ve never gotten one quite this color. This is also the first year my male is with two Spalding females. He is also a Spalding. My male has thrown pied chicks with a different hen before and with these two new girls he’s thrown two whites. This is...
I hatched out 2 little Spaldings a few months back and I thought they might be old enough to sex. I think they’re both female but I’m more experienced with India Blues. Can anybody tell or are they still too young? The one labeled and the one on the perch are different birds.

Hi all. I've wanted to get a Java Green for a while now but the problem is is that I live in North Carolina where the winters get below freezing. I wanted to know how low I can safely keep a Java Green at without having to worry about any problems coming up? In the winter I give my IB's and...
So if I get the Sulfadimethoxine liquid does that mean I wouldn’t need the medicated chick feed? I could just use game bird food? Or does the medicated food provide other things that the game bird food does not...

I’m about the have some Spalding peachicks hatch and I’ve been doing research to make sure I feed them right. I read that I should mix medicated chick feed with starter game bird food. What brands do you use for your chicks? And what do you find to be the best food for them? I also read that I...
A while ago I sold a 3-4 month old Peachick to a friend. My friend has had the peachick for about 1-2 months and the chick is too light. She hasn’t been seen eating but the food in her bowl has been disappearing. She is in a pen by herself but she is with others peafowl and can easily see and...
I had some Cochin bantam eggs that are due to hatch soon. I noticed an egg piping and kept a close eye in it. I just went outside to notice blood on other eggs and the piping egg had blood around the pip and a tiny bloody wing sticking out. Thinking it was dead as it wasn’t moving or peeping I...
