2015 breeding season

[new 2 pfowl]

This is not from the trip i have not left yet LOL this is out of my birds

Oops, I didn't say that right, I got too excited!

I should have said:
I am very excited to see your new peababies from your peas (can we see more of 'em?), and I will be very very excited to see what you bring back from your trip, too!!!

The only hen I have laying right now is Thora but they are unfertile for my knowledge. Both Colbolt and Genie still have their trains so I don't know what they are waiting for. Sage should have her eggs hatching within a week or a week and a half. I got home from an FFA trip and she was brooding. That was June 5 so if the peachicks hatch in 28 days then I should be getting more peachicks by July 3rd. I will be waiting for those and then it's over with hatching season and then I got to try and sell them. Then there needs to be a thread called 2015 Non Breeding Season since the height of peafowl is during breeding season, so we need something to do when breeding season is gone.

The reason why I don't have 5 peachicks is because the first peachick with the slip tendons in the hock and curly toes died. I put shoes and splinted the hocks hoping it would work. I would exercise the legs but the peachick didn't get better and died when it turned a week old. Every peachick I get with the slip tendons and curly toes dies within a week of hatching. I was able to figure out the problem. I'm going to guess it was the humidity. The plugs that my incubator has can be removed making the humidity drop but allowing more air flow and oxygen or so the instructions say. The instructions with the incubator say to remove the plug when chicks begin to hatch so they get more oxygen. After the first peachick I put the plug back in and have not had that problem ever since then. I was able to hatch out 5 peachicks but only 4 were healthy and still alive. I already have names for the 4 peachicks.

It's really cute when they practice fanning. Think about how much color change these peachicks will go to go to their adult colors. Mainly talking about the males since they have the most color.

My first baby of the year, ib split to black shoulder. Candles my bronze white eye 3 were rollers and no development. Shells hard hard so I am betting if the last 2 hatch it's going to be assist! They should be due Thursday!
