She lives inside (for now) and does have the company of myself, my two daughters - and of course my pup Scout and indoor bunny, Donut. Since I work remotely, she is with me all day - and basically just like another member of the family! She is so loving and sits on my/our laps, gives neck hugs...
Hello,
I have had my peacock since she/he was less than one day old. She has imprinted big time.
She refused a heat lamp and heat plate and I admittedly let her sleep close to me (not easy as I’ve lost sleep!) but it’s the only way she feels the warmth of a mother - so I’m kinda damned on...
I came home and found my rooster and hen dead - a trail of feathers everywhere - a galvanized can knocked over - and the heads eaten - but still attached. The insides were yellowish which was also scary to see. Im so upset. So upset. I really love my chickens and the rooster, especially. I...
Thank you everyone - what was bad got worse. I was putting a small splint on (q-tip cut to about a 1/4) and my baby peacock/hen grabbed with beak and swallowed it. I called everywhere to take her in and nobody would see her. Shes going to dr tomorrow. SO far she is eating and going to the...
Hi there thank you for writing. He/she is eating and drinking tona but keeps ticking that foot/leg up.
I will take a photo asap right now sleeping in dark
Hello I have a 10 day old baby peacock. Yesterday my daughter accidentally stepped on her right foot with shoes on. One middle toe is purple and the leg seems a touch purple. The middle toe is more bendy than the left middle toe. She has been lifting more today than yesterday. The vet said...
Hi there,
My name is Jen - I was looking online for some advice on my new peahen who I think has imprinted on me. She is only 4/5 days old. So far I am realizing how much different they are than raising chickens - WAY more hands on care. It is like having a newborn ie up all night...
Hiya!
So I was just given a baby peacock who is 2 days old. I currently have chickens, an indoor rabbit, gecko, a dog - and the farm that I live on has turkeys, goats and of course peacocks (the mama lives here). So - every year the baby peacoks have a hard time making it (predators, es) - so...
Im so sorry that happened to your hen, too! Its so sad. we do have coyotes - thats a good point that it might be one. There was no blood, foot prints, etc..only feathers leaving a trail. Im worried about tonight!
Oh - I have that. I thought you meant something else. :-) I have wiring all around the coop...but this predator dug under the wood fence part - where I dont have that. Hmmm
My heart is broken. I woke up this morning and noticed that the rooster was a bit more quite than usual. I went outside and found a trail of feathers leading from a hole under the coop...to near my front door...and then near the tomato plant. Then the trail stopped. One of my hens was...
Greetings everyone. One of my hens who is about 10 months old - is losing a ton of feathers over the past week. When I picked her up today - she was also very light! She is losing them near her chest area - which is practically bald. I am finding her feathers all over the yard. I am also...
