Hmmm...
Bubbles is on a nest, although I haven't found it yet.
She is almost exactly one year old, so I'm surprised that she's doing the nest thing already!
Getting ready for Chickwatch 2014!

Hey now, don't ridicule Miss Bubbles.

I actually can't remember how she got her name, although I can easily recall how her two brothers, Sneezy and Hoppy, got theirs...

We need pics of Bubbles. Pleeze?

Now that I look through my pictures, I'm embarrassed that I have very few pictures of Bubbles and many pictures of her aunt/cousin/half sister Little Yellow (free ranging + inbreeding makes for mysterious relationships...).

But here's a not-so-good picture of Bubbles and her brother Sneezy:

Bubbles ranks higher than Thang anyday. At least she's not looking to take off like a bullet. She has a very noticable crest too. And she's a free ranger? You have this high quality peas like Bubbles and don't post pics of her,,you should be very ashamed New2.

I know this is not a peafowl, but her goes! The thread does not say peafowl, my second hatch! I am having much better luck with it. This guinea hatched 3 days early, just as put them in lockdown!

So... remember my first batch of 4 PeaBabies that I said I already thought I knew the sexes of? Not that this really means anything at this age, but the oldest lighter colored chick was strutting in the brooder when I got up this AM (which I have seen quite a few times lately), but then all of a sudden "he" hopped on the darker colored chick (that was laying down under the heat source), grabbed it by the back of the head/neck and then GOT BUSY on "her", LOL!! (There were all kinds of complaints coming from the chick on the bottom, lol). I thought they were just fighting/being aggressive/picking on each other, but then when I finally focused my still half asleep coffee deprived eyes better I realized what exactly I was seeing... lol. My eyes! My eyes!

Anyone else ever seen their PeaBabies try to "go thru the motions" at such a young age? This is a first for me (last season's 28 Peachicks were much better behaved, with better manners I guess, lol). These guys are just a couple days past turning 4 wks old, lol.
