BRAND NEW PEACOCK COLOR

[zazouse]

This new color is still rare ... but I'm sure what will be successful!

It already exists in Rose .... Orange ... etc ...

OH MY

is that the rare and elusive ring tailed green Dany? what a great find

Pretty neat color combo must have took forever to get that

He probably worked on that for a few minutes.

On a serious note, someone on the Nor Cal thread posted pictures of a porcelain (I think) rooster that had some green very similar to the pea in this thread. I'll see if I can find that post.

Hi Again...Up-date on sick Peachicks...I managed to save 2 from the first batch and I'll tell you why in a little bit.With the other I used all the medications mentioned here and I want to thank all of you for your help but I hate to say it didn't help they died anyway,it seems by the time you notice they are sick which they go from being very healthy one day and really sick the next.It I believe it's too late and it was becoming very frustrating so with the last 2 and only one looked just a bit droopy I started using the old time remedy Apple Cider Vinegar in their water and low and behold it got better.The next batch of eggs were being incubated by chickens hens so I figured the moment they hit the ground I will use it on them and guess what? They are all still alive and doing really really good not to mention and I know! I know! I know! not to leave them with the chickens hens but they are doing so well I would never change it now..A ;itt;e Serama hen hatched out 3 pheasant eggs and 1 peachick and they are almost 4 weeks old and are terrific.My other big brood hens hatched out 3 and they also are awesome so I'm doing every thing wrong and they are healthy and when I thought I was doing things right they died.I forgot to mention they are all outside in pens with little condos of course but on the ground on grass where they get plenty of vegetation .Now I'm Happy!!!

We use ACV in our chicks water too. Only had one peachick and a couple of chicken chicks, and one guinea go downhill in the brooders.

Why are you supposed to take the peachicks from the chicken broodies? Is it just because of being on dirt? I have three peas with a peahen that are about six weeks old now and they are doing fine, so what would be the difference being with a peahen and a chicken? I guess other than getting really high up on a perch.

A chicken hen could be carrying blackhead, but not show signs of illness. I use chicken chicks to raise some of mine, but all get treated with metronidazole and Safeguard before the chicks hatch.

I took the peachicks from the chickens at hatch last time but I have two eggs under one that I had been thinking of letting the chicken raise, perhaps not now.

It's perfectly safe if you treat the hen before the eggs hatch and make sure that their is no poop in the nest from before the hen was treated.
