Bought some peachicks today!

[zazouse]

The first ones (whites) I ever saw were in high school, in a courtyard of the school. They netted the top of the courtyard and let them live there. It was so surreal.

That would be cool

That would be cool

It was. Wasn't my high school, was one we visited yearly for swim meets. I think when I asked, someone told me the art class used the shed feathers. They gave me one, and I still have it in a vase on a shelf in my house. Guess that's where this all started!

I got my first feathers from a koa camp , thats when i fell in love they just let the peas roam around and i wanted to do the same thing one day, and i am getting to do just that finely but man it took alot of years to finely get them.

So that's what day old peachicks look like.

Ain't they cute?

The peeps they make are very different from ducklings, quail, chicks, keets, and goslings that I have raised.

Its kind of like a low "Peeeeeeeeeeeep" where as Chicks have the very high pitch "PEEP!"

I've seen the Bronze, Cameo's, and Peach while I was at the breeders house. The Bronze was very dark, where as the Cameo was a medium brown, and the Peach was almost like a Light orange and light brown mixed together.

Thank you for the info on the Spaldings! (Is it Spaulding or Spalding?)

I'm considering buying a pair of Silver Pied's or a pair of Purple's. (Maybe Purple Pied?) I'm thinking about it.. Not sure if I should because that would be a lot of $$$$ coming in a box in the hands of the UPS..


I forgot I had taken some pictures of his peafowl! I'll be uploading them in a second!

What a pretty picture! You take stunning pictures! They are never grainy or fuzzy. I also need to invest in a new camera as you can tell in the last pictures I posted, its time is about up here.

I did not think i would like white either but the breeder gave me one when i bought my first chicks from them and i fell in love with her, she made it easer to see the group at the tree lines when they were in the pastures but she was also camouflaged when in the woods because of the shadows and suns rays coming threw the trees.
I purchased 3 more whites the next season and a cameo, now i am going to get more cameos this year if any hatch out for them.

Oh she's adorable! Now would she be a Spalding, since she has the Yellow cheeks?

It's Spalding, because the lady who first hybridized them was Ms Spalding.

The purples are gorgeous, I'll be getting some someday. Maybe see if there are chicks nearby you could pick up instead of ship?
