As always, beautiful photos everyone! Love seeing all your beauties.
My Opal split boy, Hallelujah (also my avatar when he was a baby)..... as you may have seen me post before, he is out of a Bronze peacock and a Opal WE hen.
Here is my Cameo. I have a Bronze hen in with him this year. I...
Oh yeah, this is what I would like to work on! This is a beautiful bird!
Cameos are okay but I like them better pied. Not spalding but pied is good. My Cameo peacock is sweet and handsome but rather boring to look at. Of course, I think he just hasn't any thickness to his rain eitehr. Now my...
I don't usually have trouble on BYC. Now FB is another story. It is a PITA but here I seem to get them loaded fine. I might have had issues years ago but it could have been my computer back then.
Congratulations!!!! I admire you for taking your peafowl out to shows and allow others to see how much of a pet they can become. Mine are not nearly that petted. Our local poultry shows do not include peafowl. Some do not allow turkeys or Guineas either. I doubt peafowl will ever be shown...

My poor Handsome Cam is looking pitiful. Peach doesn't seem to mind too much. She laid what she was going to this year and is done. Peach has a slight scissor beak so I put her food in the deep dish and she can eat much better. I have some Olive Egger and Marans grow out youngsters in the pen...
I have yearling hens lay eggs all the time. I have never tried to hatch any since they are usually in with yearling boys. Not all yearling hens will lay but there are some that are ready and will give one or two or even more in the first year.
Holey moley! I have never heard of one hen laying so many in a stretch!
