Farm chatter

[ackie]

i guess it's possible, but the thread i saw had a picture and others were saying it was a guinea


no, it does not

yeah I suspect it is possible but not really something that's going to casually happen in your backyard. I imagine the eggs will need help hatching because peafowl eggs and chicken eggs are very different in size.

our peacocks dance for the chickens but they also dance for the cats so..

there was a post on the peafowl forum once of someone claiming they had a hatched a chicken/peafowl cross breed.

The strange thing is that my mother just sent that thread to me today!

It's just based on the farms/farmers markets that I've seen there and my experience in those states.

I did not yet find out if they are boys or girls, and I don't think I'll listen to ChLcken.

Drakes have a very high sex drive. They mate very roughly, which causes reproductive problems for the chicken hens.

No, it’s not the roughness that messes with chickens, it’s that drakes have a penis and chickens don’t.

Exactly- I might have quoted the wrong post.
Although I’m sure if a drake just kinda.. humped the chicken gently, nothing bad would happen. But roughly mating with them the same way they mate with duck hens is no good.
