Sad news to hear on the first time I've logged on in months. Burt was so generous with information, his knowledge, tips, and never once talked down to me although I knew nothing about my peafowl at the beginning. Rest in peace.

My hens' fertile eggs are smelling kind of "off" or almost "fishy" and have been for 3 or 4 weeks or so. I tried to ignore the smell at first but now I just can't eat them and its turned off the rest of my family as well. They are free range and have layer pellets & cracked corn in the barn to...

Wonderful story. My rooster is a bully - I put up with him because he does what God designed him to do: Protect His Hens! He mounts them constantly, pecks their heads while mounted, flys at me to try to spur me 90% of the time, bullies my 85 pound GSD who is from working dog lines and is...

Also forgot to mention that yesterday I noticed that there are watery droppings on the patio from one peafowl. I think it's just one as there are just 2 splotches. Occasionally I've noticed a more watery dropping under the roost from one of the peafowl but it usually resolves itself after a...

My 4 year old peahen is lame. Her left foot is slightly swollen at the toes and she doesn't want to put full weight on it and is limping around. My peafowl free range and return to the barn to roost at night or in bad weather. I am feeling slightly guilty as I haven't kept the droppings swept up...
