    Gander bobbing whole body?

    I was sitting with my flock today and my gander came over in greeting, loudly making noise, and started preening but then he started bobbing his head and trying to sit down before his whole body kinda did a wave motion. I've never saw it before

    Peacock body language?

    I'm sorry if this has been covered. I searched the forums, but with keywords I've used, there were no results. My peacock is 4 years old and was hand-raised by the folks who gave him to us. We also have 2 peahens who are 3 this year. My peacock, Argos, is very sweet and loves to be near us. He...

    What is this noise my new hens keep making?

    I have 3 silkies, two of which were introduced a few days ago. The two new ones keep making noises that sound distressed, but I can't figure out what they're distressed about other than moving to a new home :/ Can anyone identify these noises?

    Hen carrying wings low and wide

    I had 5, (now 4 since I lost my Plymouth Barred Rock) young hens that are about 10 months old; a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Golden Buff (Red Star), Buckeye and Rhode Island Red. I don't have a rooster. I'm pretty sure the Rhode Island is the boss, then perhaps the Wyandotte. The Buckeye has...
