Hi, I have 5 peafowls and just yesterday I noticed that one of them kept falling as it tried to get up and walk, I took it out of the cage and checked for any injuries but there were none, so I’m worried and freaking out because I don’t know what’s wrong and it seems to be limping and losing...

First peafowl egg pipped yesterday morning, I noticed it at 7am. No progress at all and after all 3 other eggs began to unzip after pipping much later after the 1st I did an assist out of the egg. Very slowly, using water to keep everything moist etc. No visible damage to the peafowl so I...
I would really love to get a couple baby pea chicks. I would like to give one to my Mom for Mother's Day and raise the other with my baby chicks. Anyone near KY have any available?
I have been thinking about this for ever. I want there to have a BYC poultry day. You could send out a survey for a set day. A chicken, duck, and goose competition could be held and the winner will win 30 trophy points other competitions could be held also.

I am going tomorrow to purchase two baby peachicks, one is a dark pied 7 weeks the last one she has left that she is holding for me, then I want to pick between her loud pied or black shoulder. They are only 4 or 5 weeks. I want males. One hen would be fine but I really don't want to end up with...
I found two abandoned pea chicks in our yard (a neighbor saw a fox the day before, so we think it got the mama).
I did a crash course on peafowl. We've got them in a 3' x 3' x 12" cage with a clip lamp and 60 watt flood bulb, plus a space heater. We keep them outside. We're in Miami, which...

Hello. I’ve been using Farm innovators incubator for chickens and I’ve had a very good hatch rate for last 2 times.
I was wondering if it will good to hatch peafowl and duck eggs?
Has anybody tired hatching peafowl eggs in this incubator? And how was the experience ?
So I have been reading quite a bit and I read a few post that said before the males get their long train, the shape of their tail display can help determine the sex of peafowl. If the tail display create the shape of a half moon or like a sideways C the fowl is a hen and if the shape of tail...
Hello all! I'm mom to a peachick, Pekin and Swedish ducks. We started with a Pekin rescue and the others have been added along over the last few months. I think my feathered babies are easier to live with than my humans :D Thanks for having me here and for sharing your wealth of information!
I have a 4 week old pea chick that has a knee that wants to pop inward most of the time when it walks. Took it to a vet, but no conclusion on what the issue is or what to do. If it is walking more upright, it tends to walk OK. If it is lower to the ground when walking, the knee pops inward...
