Do you ever look back and see when you first got peafowl, or something like that? It seems every year so far I look back at when I got peafowl. I know that most people have had peafowl a lot longer than I have, in fact most of you make it seem like I have owned peafowl for just a week lol.
I can't believe I got my first peafowl back in 2009! It was October 11th to be exact and they were from the zoo.
November 16th: I released my first peafowl. Hmm I probably should have waited longer...
Lets see... Somewhere around December 09 the peacock, Fire, ran away leaving me with just a peahen.
2010
January 18th: We found a great peafowl breeder in Alabama. We call him "The Bird Man".
January 19th: We went back to the bird man and bought a yearling peahen (by this time we had the other peahen in a pen and put the yearling peahen in there too).
January 21: We made the little peafowl pen a bit bigger.
February 20: We started making the big peafowl pen we have now. We got the netting up that day.
March 6: We finished the pen.
April 23: By now I have all the peafowl I do know, and I saw Dragon mate with Ice.
May 8: I predicted that there should be an egg in the pen any day know.
May 9: I find an egg the day after my prediction from Ice. Pretty good huh?
May 15: I get a second egg from Ice.
May 17: Third egg
May 23: sixth egg
2011
Today: I pet Dragon's wing while he was eating, hand fed the peafowl some peanuts, checked for any eggs just in case, made sure the fake eggs were still in the nest boxes, and watched the birds drink a lot of water then lie around in the shade.
So what about everyone else? When did you first get peafowl? When did you get your first egg? It would be fun to see a time line if you have the dates or just years. I just have all these specific dates because I wrote it in my school agenda...
