I spot clean regularly, but do a deep cleaning monthly. I use Koop Kleen for bedding. The chickens love it.

I'm continuing the chili peppers, but it hasn't helped with my squirrel problem. I've been trapping them and taking them to Mission Bay in San Diego. My Peas are located in San Marcos (N. County San Diego). Compared to my chickens, the Peas are not big eaters. Is this normal?

Today was the second day of adding chili powder and red pepper flakes to the Pea's food. The Peas love it, so if anything they are taking more interest in their food. I don't think the squirrels care for the red pepper flakes, but I need more time to make sure.

Thank you! That's a great tip.

I just spoke with my vet who specializes in birds. He said the chili powder should be no problem for the Peas. I will let you know if it deters the squirrels.

The Peas are in a fabulous 23' high geodesic dome enclosure. The bottom 8' of the frame is covered with black PVC covered hardware cloth mesh. The rest is covered with aviary netting. I've used hardware cloth on the 2' outside and 2' inside circumference so they can't dig tunnels. The squirrels...

Squirrels are eating my Peafowls's food. Can I put chili powder in their food to deter the squirrels?

I'm fairly new to owning Peas. They will travel and its not unusual to end up 5 miles away. You have a male who probably wants to meet a gal friend.

What is HC? Thanks!

Today is day three of having the two new hens. My white male is loving his harem and spreading his train more than I've ever seen. I don't see putting the banished male back with the group and based on the space needs (thank you KS), I think I'll build a new enclosure for the banished male and...

Thank you for the tips. Day two was a little better, but I decided to move the aggresive male into a pen by himself so the new hens can feel comfortable in their new home. He is familiar with the run as it was his home for his first year. The 2 new hens, the 1 original hen, and the white male...

Thank you for the welcome! I built an awesome geodome that is 23' high and 23' in diameter. I used to keep the Pea's in an 10' x 8'x 10' chicken run but felt they needed an opportunity to fly. I can't let them loose as I have coyotes living on my 33 acres.

I have 2 peacocks and 1 peahen that are about two years old. They have been together since they were chicks. I heard the ideal ratio is 2 hens per cock. I got 2 new hens yesterday and one of the peacocks picks on the new hens. Will this ever resolve itself? How should I introduce the new hens?
