Looking for ~6 month old Peahen in western KY.

[chckndaddy]

I had a pair of around 6 month old blue peafowl that I was planning on breading when they matured. But the hen unexpectedly died on Monday. We are looking to replace her with a new hen preferably around the same age. The young cock is getting lonely.

Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help!

I can bring you an IB hen of the same age, we will be going to Cookeville Tn the first week of March and can meet you on our route.

 

[chckndaddy]

That would be awesome! How much would it be? Also are you in KS?

Do you know why your bird died?

 

[chckndaddy]

She had some kind of respiratory infection due to dust, I think she just couldn't get enough air and she choked. This happened just before we started letting them free range, she'd probably be fine now if she'd just made it 3 more days.

Is your other pea showing any signs of illness?

He is still sneezing a bit but I'm hoping a few more days of free range will clear this right up. They've been in the back of a dusty barn all winter while we were getting them used to their new home. We've had a Vet involved, they said to just get as much ventilation as possible and try to cut down the amount of dust that was in there.

Did the vet do any testing on him to make sure it isn't a disease?

Swab down the throat testing?
