[loveourbirds]

im glad my wife is a chicken addict too. my obsession would be hard to explain otherwise

mrs oz is not a chicken addict, she does however tolerate most of my crazy ideas

are you giving probotics or adding ACV with mother?

The sav-a-chick probiotic and electrolytes are in the water. They got grogel with b when I first got them. I actually mixed some of it up in the parking lot of the PO after removing the dead ones. I gave the rest when we got home.

I have a couple other ones that I found today without actually pasty butt, but who have a little portion of their vent poking out, looking red. Its making them poop down at a weird angle and covering their navals with poop. I think....

[/quote] my understanding is if she leaves the nest with them still in, she's probably done with them.

What is popeye/olive? Hopefully no one pecks it too bad it has some nice markings

Meet Popeye or Olive. Name to be determined at a later date.

no cull?

Hard to cull chicks that hatch from $20 dollar eggs. I didn't buy the egg but that's what the going rate is for peafowl eggs.

Is Olive or Popeye at risk for others to peck his eye??? OUCH. Is sweet looking anyway.   Lynn

I wondered that myself. I figure he/she will eventually lose that eye.

The dad is a white eyed pied peacock and the momma is a silver pied peahen. It's a $300 dollar pair. The chicks sell for $50 each and the eggs for $20. The daddy has a rare dominant gene that makes all his offspring carry the white eye in their feathers.
