    So I am grossed out by my eggs.

    This sounds purely psychological. You must have some stigma or notion about these eggs that makes your brain reject them. Maybe the fact that you're intimately involved in the production process is playing a role? I could never eat anything I raised, for other reasons. But perhaps you...

    Are these okay to plant inside birds enclosure?

    I found this old post by casportpony It lists acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) as an approved medication for Peafowl. I am not a vet and am merely referencing information that is readily available. Should be fine though.

    Are these okay to plant inside birds enclosure?

    Can't find this information anywhere. From what I can glean, willow is generally nontoxic to humans and pet birds. They even reccomend you give willow bark to certain hookbills to relax them/as a painkiller. There is a compound in the bark called acetylsalicylic acid which has an aspirin-like...

    What I'm going to tell you might come off as condescending, please know that I do not mean to disparage you in any way with my comment. You're heading down a path that will waste your time and money by committing to treat the rust with solvents. CLR, and most "rust removers" on the shelf will...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    I have to check the date with mom to be sure but they should be just over 4 months old by now. They hatched sometime during the last week of April or the first week of May.

    Training Help/Advice for dog who killed poultry?

    Age matters very little when it comes to conditioning dogs. Dedication and consistency is what is key. With certain dogs. the prey instinct is too strong to fully break, but you condition even those dogs to heel, drop the chase, or release the bird. I am not a licensed expert, but I've raised...

    Help please peachick can't walk anymore!!!

    I'm no expert but it sounds like your chick was attacked or accidentally injured by the chicken. I imagine a pea chick would attempt to get under your chicken for security and your chicken would freak out and attack it. A deep blue under the skin could indicate internal bleeding in humans, not...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    An update in case you were wondering. After a few days of talking and texting back and forth with my parents, we settled on only being able to use whatever space is already available of the side yard. Dad insists he wants to keep his doghouse where it is, despite it being unused and better...

    Falcon egg under broody hen

    If you read what we shared with you, you would know that collecting an egg is illegal regardless of any permits or training you completed. A surface scan would inform you that you can only collect a yearling bird capable of sustaining flight. This excludes all breeding adults, nesting...

    Bucket Feed is the be-all end-all? So much waste!

    In case you were still wondering. Superbowl Bucket Feeder It's expensive for what it is. You might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere... But with some craftiness and a trip to the hardware store, you could make something equivalent for much less.

    Falcon egg under broody hen

    I would advise against this for ethical reasons, and then there's the legality of it--which it isn't. Some Alaska.gov resources on Falcons From Alaska Fish & Game: "Bag limit One passage falconry raptor as defined in 5 AAC 92.037(f), a current hatch year bird capable of sustained flight. Adult...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    The coloring and pattern on that first pea is amazing! The feathers on it's neck remind me of high quality arrowana scales. The property does not have an inch of grass. My parents have a california yard with native drought resistant plants and the remaining space is filled with wood chips and...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    I am on the west coast, my parents live in the rolling hills of Palos Verdes but I live in the OC. I see them regularly on the way home from work in LA, so I can do maintenance throughout the week on the enclosure while they're in it. I am definitely over-complicating things. I looked through a...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    Thank you. I actually learned most of what I know and practice about peafowl directly from this forum. I've read a few articles through Google but the majority of useful information has come through reading user posts with questions and answers from community members. Do you think I should give...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    I forgot to mention, what really pushed me into signing up and seeking advice was that the older hen came home with battle damage recently and hasn't been the same since. She was always a skittish hen, and highly attached to her mother, so she's been very highly strung and stressed since her...

    Peafowl Preventative Dosing

    Hello, I would like to ask a question for experienced peafowl keepers to gauge an opinion for the best course of action. But first some backstory... Where my parents live, peafowl roam wild in the suburbs. There is such a big population and there are mixed feelings about them so it puts the...
