First Three 2015 Eggs are FERTILE

[Peafowlssssssss]

If you have 2 males that are split to Peach, you should have a decent chance of hatching a Peach hen from them, at least I would think so? Because the Peach is a sex linked color half the daughters from these 2 males should be Peach(on paper anyway). But getting a Peach hen would save time for sure.

I will try to put each males with three hens to get more chances of hatching peach hen, but so far i only have 3 hens total for them.

I do not have 3 hens for any of my males

, they are just hard to find in my area and it is hard to find people who want males, so I always have too many males.

This is what usually happened, last year i only had 3 hens for my bronze male, but this year, luckily one of the biggest breeders here has decided to sell all his birds, so I got 10 hens from him, this will mean 5 males will have 3 hens this year. I hope i will get many hens from my bronze bs pen this year, last year i got 9 boys and only 1 hen.

That is wonderful, I wish that would happen here.

Last year I had trouble finding plain old IB hens. Some other members offered to sell me some, but when you add in shipping costs it just wasn't worth it for IB's. I did eventually get these 2 for $50 each which is pretty good.

That's a great price for mature peahens for sure, i sold my last ib peahen last week.

Also got this male last weeks, i really don't know if he is purple silver pied or india blue silver pied?



Sometimes his neck will be blue and sometimes purple!

Only 50% of the hens will be peach.

That's what I meant by "half the daughters".

Then I bet he is Purple SP.

My IBSP's neck sometimes looks blue and sometimes looks green, but it never looks purple.

When bred to what type of hen?
