I also have a question on peafowl for you if you'd care to answer.If you clipped your peafowl's wings how high can they still jump?

My peafowl I've seen make it at least 2 feet without a flap of the wings. I've seen it every now and then my peacock jumping 3 feet without flapping. 2 feet I see them do all the time. If you or anyone on this thread has any peafowl questions I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Hm ok so no higher then my turkey's could thanks! Always trying to learn how to keep other species of birds in case I ever get the chance to get some! Right now geese,chickens & ducks are what I'm keeping I want to get turkey's again.

I have babies!!!!!

These aren't the greatest pictures, but at least the chicks are cute....so that makes it ok to post them, right? lol








This is my colorful bunch of babies. They're Orpingtons in the following varieties: blue, black, splash, jubilee. And, there's a little blue bantam Sumatra in there also. Then "The Lone Ranger", my little black bantam Sumatra who hatched 8 days too early. They were all supposed to hatch on the 7th (today), but Ranger came out to the world 8 days ago. I bought these hatching eggs from a breeder. I'm quite sure he had a broody hen that was hiding the egg and he had no idea. There's no way a chick would hatch 8 days early just like that. lol Anyway.. Ranger now has plenty friends, and no longer has to be the only child. Although, I think he/she has enjoyed being the only child quite a bit, because this is what Ranger has been doing for the last 8 days:

Excellent capture! I like photos like this.

Felt like photographing the pheasant across the canal, my 24 Black Australorp pullets, and my peahen brooding her 4 eggs. My peafowl eggs in the incubator have begun the hatching. One is half way here, hoping on no defects!

Very colorful! Thanks for posting.

Ranger is a real sweetheart especially sitting on top of his puppy's head.

Birdrain, do pea hens leave their eggs alone for very long? I would guess they aren't like broody chickens.
