    Figuring out a way to keep a tame free roaming Peahen safe

    Hi All We recently had a free roaming, but very tame Peahen adopt our family on our ranch. The whole family loves her, and she is incredibly sweet and tame (probably someone's pet at some point), but we don't know how to keep her safe. Does anyone have advice for setting up roosting boxes or...

    White Feather Question

    One of the India Blue Peahen eggs I hatched has white feather on both of its wings. Does this mean a split white or nothing at all?

    What is the normal temperature of a peahen/cock?

    I have a 3 year old lethargic peahen. Its temperature is 41.2oC. Does anyone know if this is normal? Chickens can have a temperature of 40-42 but I can't find any information about peafowl temperatures?! I have started worming with fenbendazole. Anyone any ideas?

    Peachick with lice

    I've been raising peafowl for 2 years now, my first batch of peas just recently had their own clutches! I've hand raised my hens, so they allow me to check on their nests without too much fussing. I was checking the first (and we suspect the only) peachick from a clutch of 9 and I discovered the...

    New to Peas- What's Mine Saying?

    Hello, pea-peeps! I recently had a peacock walk into my life, and have been having a difficult time researching all the little quirks I've noticed in this guy. And yes, I have read the peafowl 101 stickies, and more. I've spent the last decade rescuing roosters, but the last two years have...

    Staff please read!

    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.

    Are apricot leaves poisonous peafowl and other birds?

    I had a peahen some time ago(It's gone now, but I have it in my profile pic :p). When I go outside, I usually spend some time to pick leaves from my apricot tree and feed it to her. Today, bored, with nothing to do, I decided to search up poisonous plants, and ended up on this site(Wikipedia)...

    Spalding Or when Incubation

    First off Spalding Peahen Eggs are huge, and maybe that's the problem with trying to candle them but it has been 10 days and I can't see really anything. I candle other eggs and see something... clear, or veins, or black eye, etc. Has anyone hatched Spalding Eggs in an incubator? These are from...

    Raising peachicks with a broody hen

    Decided to make a new thread on this. Eggs will arrive some time in March so I’ll have good bit my of time to prepare. Was wondering if I should allow the hen to raise them on the ground from day one when they hatch or should I keep them in a shed on concrete floor with straw for 6-7 weeks...

    Peachick Sexing Photo Reference Chart

    Hi All- I know we are always curious what sex the peachicks are from the second they hatch. In 2016, I had the lucky opportunity to document in pictures, a male and female chick's development from hatching to adulthood.

    Hatching Eggs With Altitude Change

    I'm trying to get ahold of peacock hatching eggs, but I know they fare poorly in shipping so I'm looking to pick them up from a state that borders mine, which would be a pretty long drive. A family member of mine is a private plane pilot and would be willing to bus me out to pick up the eggs...
