    peafowl eggs hatching

    This was the advice I got too. I started with 7 and only hatched two. Candling really helped me out a lot. If I do this again, I know what to look for. Although I have no idea how I would have identified the internal pip from what I saw at lockdown. Two of my eggs were chirping at me and...

    Peachicks update

    My two littlest peachicks are coming up on 2 weeks old. I noticed that one of them had a red spot on their vent. I was immediately worried about it being sick. But upon closer inspection the area just looks like just more blood flow. From an observation standpoint, it is healthy and I have no...

    Looking for Java Green Peachicks or hatching eggs

    the OP is looking for greens. I researched breeders near me originally, and heard lots of positive things about Bob's but I was looking for Pied india blue variations.

    Leg bands for ID

    Sorry for waking up an old thread. What size do you suggest for the leg bands that you have your name on?

    Looking for Java Green Peachicks or hatching eggs

    Bob’s Green Peafowl is the closest breeder to me actually (if I had wanted greens). They have an excellent reputation here not only for greens, but as a peacock breeder in general.

    Aviary netting

    I ended up ordering way too much much (on purpose) of the 2 inch knotted. I figure I will use it all one day, one way or another.

    Mixing ages of peachicks

    The ruckus last night was a massive one. Disturbing the older ones enough where they didn’t come to roost in their sleeping area and instead tried to sleep penned up against the farthest edge of the cage to be near the younger chicks. Not the end of the world as we were having a hot days the...

    Mixing ages of peachicks

    Well then at my house apparently it will be Pavarotti and a call to roost. I wonder why that one has to scream like the undead. Once they tire out (and I make sure they are under the brooder plate for the night) it is fine. I can’t easily separate the top from the bottom because my other...

    Mixing ages of peachicks

    I have my two 12 week olds in their own “advanced brooder” (8 ft 2 story large rabbit hutch) connected to an extra large dog play yard on my screen porch. I figure pretty cushy digs for the next two weeks while my greenhouse/coop and pen is being built. My two new chicks are a week old today...

    Help, do I step in with the hatch?

    And that is what I thought but I went by the recommendation to be patient in the hatching forum. I know now I should have done something sooner but there was always that argument between “let nature take its course” and “it is ok to assist”. Now having gone through this, I would step in. But...

    Welcome #2 & #1 (in that order) - and a cautionary tale of eggs and chicks

    Well it was a long day yesterday, but I have two new chicks (one hatch went bad). The 30% hatch rate was right on point and against all odds. I decided last minute not to go with local Wild Type eggs and instead ordered eggs. I received 7 and they ended up being delayed two extra days (thanks...

    Help, do I step in with the hatch?

    No movement since yesterday afternoon. I can’t help but feel like he was positioned badly in the eggs. Somehow, his wing looked like it was over his face. I’m amazed he was able to pip at all. He’s in the incubator still, the other chicks are out, but I don’t have any hope at this point...

    Peafowl Breed & Gender ID Help – Only One Hatched!

    Beautiful little one. Definitely needs a buddy asap. I had one’s hatch today and one hopped a high divider in the incubator just to be with the other hatched one. They are SUCH a “need my flock bird”.

    Help, do I step in with the hatch?

    I checked it out more throughly. I noticed there was yoke around its original pip area, and it must have turned and tried a different area and broke through. It is a big chick, and was the largest of all my original eggs. It didn’t react to any of my inspection. Eyes still closed and I saw red...

    I have read all the posts about helping in the forum. I will check the membrane here in a bit and continue to watch

    Help, do I step in with the hatch?

    Figures one of mine would be a problem. 12 Hours at this point. Did it give up?

    Egg hatching currently concerns

    Well I am quite a bit more worried now as this chick is half zipped and looks like yoke was oozing out where he had pipped. I am not sure he is breathing yet… I have read everything here about assisted hatching and am prepared for that. Just need to know when to act. I move the other hatched...

    Egg hatching currently concerns

    I am taking a big breath and waiting... wow, and i thought just the incubation was a hard wait. I have raised chicks before, but we had a local hatchery to get them from. Never from incubated eggs... this is a little like being stuck in labor and delivery...
