    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Here is another one. So genetically, would this still be a green peafowl or if it has random white feathers like this, does that mean it is a Spalding? There was a topic on this a while back. Someone had a green peahen that was turning white like that. Will offspring from this bird have the...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Yeah these are not my birds. These are photos I took of Rocking BAB Ranch's farm day where they open their farm to the public for lots of fun activities and for people to look at all of their beautiful birds and other animals. On their website it says they only sell young chicks in common...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Alright I think I jumped the gun here guys. I guess that shows that I am pretty addicted to peafowl. XD I got to talking to Josh for a long time and learned some things I did not previously know. Also my parents helped shake me back into reality. I CANNOT get more birds without first having more...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    I agree the females are not as nice looking as this peacock. Here is a photo on their website of a nice spalding peahen: http://www.rockingbabranch.us/images/spalding-pied-hen-2.jpg I did not see this spalding pied white eye peacock there but maybe he was and I missed him...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    They had a sheep herding demonstration with two sheep dogs. These dogs were amazing and so friendly! I went back to the row of pens with American Greens, Spaldings, and Imported Greens and took a photo of each pen showing the pen number. Pen 44 Pen 43 Pen 42...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Josh talked a little about this peacock. I think he was saying he doesn't have many offspring to sell from this bird yet. He might be planning on keeping a few of the offspring to breed. I am not sure but he certainly loves this peacock a lot and I am sure the offspring would sell quickly. I am...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Here is another photo of the Spalding pied: The rest of the photos are of the sheepdogs doing some herding, photos of all green pens with the pen #, and a few more close ups of some of the peafowl. I will try and upload the rest tomorrow.

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    I think I have about 1 more photo of the emerald pied peacock. He was hard to photograph...All he did was walk back and forth back and forth and he was so tall that when he walks behind the roost it would block his face so I had a limited window to snap a photo of him when his face wasn't...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Yay congrats you win uhm...An imaginary ribbon! Haha Maybe a lot of people like charcoal hens because if they don't want to breed peafowl but want a peahen they can get a charcoal hen? I don't know... Alright more photos to come hopefully tomorrow. I have 39 photos left to post.

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Lots of Spalding black shoulder hens. Here is a large flight aviary. The pine straw hanging from the netting looks really cool in my opinion. I like the neat perch in the center there. I always wonder how people deal with trees in the pen. I think I need this kind of netting for sure...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    This is a very pretty silver pied peacock! Sleepy white Bronze pied - Are Bronze pieds a little rare? Midnight This is one of my favorite photos from the trip! This is a purple pied peacock posing nicely against the tin wall. Purple peahen. Bronze looking at a spalding...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    My guess is the chickens eat up the leftover food that the peas don't eat or what they scatter around. Before I went to the breeder pens I stopped by the other large flight pen. I am guessing this is either a bronze or charcoal peahen. Once again all of the silly peafowl would rather be in...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Alright now it is time for India Blue varieties and Spalding varieties. Some of them I wasn't sure what they were so if you know for sure feel free to correct me or say what it is. Oh and these photos are still from the big flight pen that I loved! The peacock laying on the roost looks like an...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    No actually looking back at the upcoming photos there are two white spalding peacocks in the same pen and both of them were moving too fast. I think they were more nervous than the green peacocks. I am sure if they had enough green blood (which I am sure these boys do) you would see the scaled...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Finally moving on to a large flight pen...This was my favorite pen! We noticed there was a cat sitting on top of the netting at the corner of the aviary. It jumped down after I took the picture and came up to us and we pet it. Eventually I will show more photos that are not just of the...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Burmese Some pens had one chicken in it. Does anyone know why they keep just 1 chicken in some of the pens? Are they just extra birds? Okay time for my favorite pen... # 28 had a very friendly Muticus Muticus pair! The male was especially friendly. This is the peahen...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Oh oops actually the big white spalding was in pen #36 Eh I am done guessing the pen #... Josh told me that the reason that some of the greens have short crests is due to all of the visitors he gets. His greens are always getting nervous and wear down their crest from pacing and hitting...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Actually after seeing all of the subspecies in person the Javanese, or as Josh explained it, they are really Muticus Muticus birds instead of Javanese...Anyways those ended up being my favorite but the Imperators were nice too. He has a pen of American Greens that he told me he is sure that they...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    Pen #'s 25-33 are all imported green peafowl pens. The others on this row were American Greens with a few different Spalding varieties mixed in with some. Some of the birds (especially the greens) were hard to photograph because they were moving a lot so that is why some of the photos are...

    Farm Day 2013 - Peafowl photos!

    I only told Blue Creek Farm this, but my main intention for Farm Day was to talk to Josh about green peafowl. I brought my dog box and everything and was ready to buy a young pair of greens from him today but he said he needed time to sex them (they are this year's hatch) and to call him next...
