peacock

So we raise ducks (have 2 pekin 1 male 1 female, 2 female Cayuga and 1 Female silver appleyard) My cousin has a ranch in the hill country not too far away (Texas) and recently had 3 peacocks land on his front lawn and they laid two eggs which he hatched. He raises quail and turkeys so this is...

There was a lost chick in my yard today. I think he must have been recently hatched because I found a peahen laying a nest on the other side of the fence. I brought him to her and she hissed. I tried putting him under her feathers but she keeps pecking him. The chick won't stop running to me...

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...

hello i found a peafowl egg that was a pretty cold and immediately brought it back to my home to heat it up. i did the water test and it floats and the air sac seems quite large for for its age which i estimate to be about 1-3 days old. does anyone think it has a chance of being alive?

Hi everyone, first time poster here. :) In short: I bought two new peahens this morning to join our peacock family. Despite getting their wings clipped this morning, they managed to fly off as soon as I opened their boxes in our pen (which has high walls, but an open roof out of necessity). I...

Greetings, all! We have an "elderly/ geriatric" aged Peacock (they cannot tell exactly how old he is. He was wild, he got injured so we took him in). We recently took him to the vet, and they said he has pretty bad arthritis in his feet/legs/wings. We are giving him a weekly shot, as well as...

Hi All, Can anyone tell me the gender of this bird and possibly the age?

Hiya, I'm currently looking for suggestions on how to tame my White Peahen (Hera) and my India blue Peacock (Hercules). They were both semi-tame when I let them loose to roam our farm, where I could pet them, but now they've become quite distant and reluctant for me to pet or hold. Does...

Hello! I have been going down a rabbit hole looking into Congo peafowl (Afropavo congensis). These birds seem wonderful, but am sad to see they are on the IUCN Readlist vulnerable species list. I am having trouble finding much information on breed activity reported after 2016 and no information...

So I got this peacock from my Father's friend. The Peacock is just a year old, I've had him for 5 weeks now. I was told to leave him in the coop until spring so he won't run away. I've had peacocks before but all got picked off one by one... Also how long does it take to gain their trust. I...

Hi My peahen is making strange positions after picking a little bit of food. She stands straight after eating as if something is stuck in her neck. Its 3 4 days now and she is not eating enough. I checked the throat with flash light but is was clear. Dont know what to do, she is getting weak...

Hi all. We took in an abandoned pair of peafowl last week and think they’re quite young, but aren’t really sure. We’re anxiously awaiting next spring to see how many eggs the hen may lay, but as for the peacock, he appears to only have a single eyespot on each side. If I had to guess, I’d say...

i just hatched out my first peachick... had to deal with a slipped tendon straight off the bat . what else should i be looking out for and do i need to know about raising one by hand by itself??

Peacock chicks breathing with open mouth and watery eyes i am giving then vitamins with tylocin power in water. Any suggestions for quick recovery

I love these birds, but we are traveling more and not able to give them as much attention as we used to. Fox island pickup. $1500 with the 15 foot, very solid aviary. I also have peachicks that just hatched. email me for pictures. [email protected]

I haven’t hatched peafowl in years. I have 4 eggs in my still air incubator. Today is day 17. I’ve candled every few days since day 7 and I haven’t seen veins at all. The eggs are very hard to see through so I wasn’t too worried. But the development seems to have stopped. I can’t find any good...

My peahen just started laying this clutch of eggs. There are only two eggs so far. Several times I have found the peacock sitting on the eggs though. He hasn't broke any or been aggressive. Why is he sitting on the eggs though instead of her?

Hi, I would just really love some advice. The farm I am on has Peahens and I've accidentally scared one away from its eggs when doing my jobs, do you know if it will return to its eggs please and will they survive this? Thanks.

Hey there! This is my second post, the last post has been very informative and helpful so I’ve decided this website might might help with this type of situation. We just went to a park/sanctuary and we found this egg! We believe it may be a peafowl egg as there were many females & males there...
