peafowl

Hi gang, A month ago I bought 4 peafowl eggs from a lovely guy near me. I put them in my (very cheap) hobbyist incubator with little hope but and interest to see what happened. This morning we work to one hatched and two pipped which was exciting! By late afternoon, it was clear that the...

I purchased this peahen last year as white, but I observed a rust color and frizzy feathers. Initially, I assumed she was simply dirty. However, even after 14 months, her feathers remain rusty and frizzy. According to my estimation, this peahen should be around 2.5 years old. Has anyone...

Hey there, I have two young peacocks who are absolutely writhing with lice on their heads as I’ve identified, I was wondering if using “Durvet Ivermectin Oral Paste 1.87% (apple flavored)” would be safe for them? If that’s alright, I do also need the safest dose per pound for them. It’s 91mcg...

Hi!! We had a peahen wander onto our farm last July. She is seemingly happy and has clearly shown no interest in leaving. She started brooding a few days ago in some tall grass by our garden. I'm not super concerned but I don't think she is sitting on fertile eggs because there is no male...

I’ve posted on here before but haven’t gotten any conclusive answers, i has hoping now that they’re a bit older people would have an easier time identifying them? I have a india blue male (Juno) who i adore and a white peafowl (Fixit) who i have been going back and forth on gender guessing since...

This seemed like the best place for this, but if there is a better one, Mods feel free to move it :) I am looking to create a mixed poultry flock (for eggs, meat, and fat) for a (future) homestead, and I wanted to get first-hand experience and/or research tips from y'all on species and breeds...

Are vitamins or a higher protein content more important in feed? I am comparing two pellets. Also are the vitamin levels in the lower feed too high for peafowl? One feed is for meatbirds: 22 percent protein, 1.2 lysine, 0.5 methionine, 3.5 fat, 4 fiber, 0.75 calcium, 1.25 max calcium, 0.6...

Hello, We are searching for a breeding pair of peafowl. We had a pair that was almost old enough but sadly our male passed suddenly. We are located in Pamlico County, NC. We are willing to drive a little for them. We have looked with not much luck. T~T

(TLDR: 4 birds missing, including 1 large male, no signs of attack, but no sightings ) Hi everyone, I’m new here and hoping to ask for some ideas/advice. I’m sorry for the long post, but wanted to give some background in hope that someone might have some insight - also I’m really upset at the...

hiya!! I have 4 darling birds that hatched this year and while i know the blue and piebald are both males, i have no clue on the two whites. Any clue? I don’t think I’d be able to wrangle them to draw blood for that method but i would like to know if possible before they grow tail feathers, i...

So we had two mother peacocks. One had two chicks, the other had four. The one with two ended up in the cage for babies, but the one with four is roaming free. Long story short the four babies somehow found their way into the cage with the other mother and seemed to have adopted her out of the...

Hi, I have a single peachick due to hatch (long story) next month and wanted to get some advice I know to keep it in a brooder for 6-8 weeks and what to feed it but I'm in two minds whether to rehome it. If I did keep it I would try my best to find another peachick of a similar age. We have...

Hiya guys! First time rasing peafowl and the 4 chick i hatched (i posted their hatch pics a lil while back) are doing amazing! Their wings are fully feathered now at 2 weeks and they are running around the brooder doing baby “displays” and chasing eachother to steal snacks. (My friends have...

I have 4 of these 1 month old peafowl I got at auction only labeled pea chicks. From the very minimal knowledge we have on peafowl we think they may have some green heritage. BUT AGAIN, very very minimal knowledge. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Milams Farm T&F

Long story short, I went to collect some Indian runner hatching eggs today to put under my broody muscovy hen. We were also given a peafowl egg for free (I said no but was outvoted 😂 ). The plan is to put them all in the nest at the same time but I'm not sure what the best thing to do is once...

I recently bought this female adding it to my breeding pen.. They told me its from pied parent I can see all these white spots on her back and wings.. I'm wondering if its white eye or not? do you recommend to mate it with IB male or White male? what I can get from here? I appreciate your help!
