Hey WthrLady,
I think I spoke to you long time ago and you were just thinking of getting peafowl but we’re a little hesitant! I see u have them now, what do u think? Do u love them as much as I do?
They will get that way! I took my showgirl hen out with her chicks day before but then it was too cold the next day. Boy was she mad! Once out, always out is her motto! :lol:
Dwegz, I had a line on some orps but since I wasn't home she couldn't wait as hoa was on her case! I am sorely...
Big Bertha is a pretty bird, dwegz! I was hoping you might have a few more. I will be looking to get a couple later spring I think.
Right now I am looking for silver pied peahens, been looking for a while but all I have seen are over 6 hour drive or more one way. I have a guy I am getting...
Oh and thanks for the compliments on my little showgirl, I just love her to death. I made her go broody as I had a couple pea eggs, that of course I broke, and they were fertile! Darn. So I gave here some silkie mutt eggs. I won't let her do again, she is getting to old, when I took her off...
Dwegz!! Hey there! You need to post a pic of that roo for me. I lost my last splash orp roo a month ago, been trying to hatch his children but he was shooting blanks and all my girls are Old! I thought "I have such a very difficult time hatching splash and here dwegz got so many splash...
I like those big ones, I have some huge old splash and blue orps, but my sister prefers bantams. I love the showgirls tho, they are so cute. Here is the little girl I brought in to clean the poopbslls of her feet, I gave her s bath so haven't put her back out. She is surprisingly hardy tho...
You have some hardy chooks! Mine probably would be but I have them shut to protect the silkies and showgirls. I lost one little showgirl roo this winter, he was the only one I had that was true showgirl type. He was very prone to getting cold tho and I didn't want passed on so I never bred...
Boy it is so cold I just want to hibernate!
My birdies all finally went in the coop last eve and I shut them in there to retain warmth. Even my peas went in. I really worry about my silkies, poor dears.
Lady to answer your question on the peas, usually India blues are good at withstanding...
I used to live in country around Milford, before that in lincoln. Was active on here in the early days!
Thus I kind of hang in both places. :)
We are 10 miles south of the border on hiway 81. I am looking for some pied hens but probably have to sell a few to get more. I am in city limits...
Well I live in town. Lol. Have to sell some babies in the spring, I have 10 babies from last year! I am going to have a hard time as they are mostly imprinted on me. :(
Silly things photobomb every time I try to take a picture!!! :)
Poor dog, he sat patiently last night wanting in to warm up and eat dinner. The back sliding door had frozen shut. After working 30 minutes with a blow dryer, I finally told "sorry bud, it ain't hapening". I just about broke the door handle trying to open it. Grr. He never sleeps inside, he...
Hi all, I used to be active on here when I lived near Lincoln. We have moved to Kansas but still right over the border on hiway 81 in Belleville so short drive for sure.
Boy this thread is quiet since I left. :)
I have peas, chickens, and a lovely lgd, a male pyr that I would love to use for...
Hi all,
Dwegz, sorry I forgot to respond about the rooster. He looks like a nice boy, not sure where the double pointed combs came from, I havent noticed any of my boys that have that. My roosters and it looks like this one is too is developing the rust very badly when exposed to sun.
My Big...
Hey Chelle,
Hot as blue blazes here today too. My puter weatherbug read 101 but local said it wasnt that hot. I think it possibly was!
Hubby basically decided his family in South America was more important and needed him more than we do here I guess. I dont think he realizes what a wreck...
