Thankyou Deerman,
Yes. He is in with a couple of bantams, who free range during the day and return to the pen at night, he was also told to clip his flight feathers which we have done.
My friend bought the bird to be a beautiful enhancement for his garden, hoping it will stay around without...
My friend has just purchased a young peacock from an auction, we dont have an exact age but it is estimated between 3 and 4 months old according to the breeder who sold him.
My question is how long does he need to be penned before he can be let out into the backyard to forage and know that he...
She may have something stuck in her trachea (windpipe) not her esophagus hense thats why she can eat no problems. Just a thought. It would be good if you could get a vet to have a look at her, you have done everything in your power to treat for worms so it must be something else, good luck!!
Thanks Kev yet again,
The birds fall into the first category, true dark pied, the 25% chance offspring from 2 pied parents, so when mated together should be all dark pied but if mated to a white should be 100% loud pied..
Now this is all hypothetical as I dont even have any yet but I do know...
here is a short video all about the RCom 20
I still dont understand why the temp is 36.7C ?? That is too low, what does the thermometer say inside the machine? It should all be calibrated to 37.5 C
When I do staggered hatches I use the top of egg cartons cut off with the eggs laid down in...
Good luck DrRob
Ive seen a few temperatures mentioned on this thread and Im sure you know the correct temperature for a fan forced is 37.5 C
I have a RCom 20 and love it!!
I had 4 Cochin bantam eggs that were carried as hand luggage on an interstate flight and they went through the xray machine.
All 4 developed and 2 hatched and are doing fantastic!
Well Mr Deerman it looks like my dream of owning some beautiful coloured peafowl from the USA will not be realised
This is part of the reply I received from the Quarantine Service
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the importation of peafoul into Australia.
I regret to inform you that the...
Deerman,
I would be honoured to be the first to establish a new colour in Australia! I know the quarantine restrictions are very strict here but going through the proper channels I cant see why it cant be done.
I have a RCom 20 fully automatic bator thats just waiting for some precious peacock...
Hi BBB
Im just learning all about peafowl before I build my pens later in the year and purchase foundation stock.
I asked the question as a hypothetical wondering if it was possible for an IB to be split both pied and white??
Is it possible to have a IB split pied bird?
And if so what are the possible colour outcomes for the following:
IB split pied x IB split pied
IB split pied x IB split white
IB split pied x white
Many thanks
