I was gifted two peacocks and last year purchased a peahen. This was my first year of hatching off eggs. It has been a challenge. I never realized how hard it was. I’ve hatched 8 good pea chicks, out of that only 3 have survived thru today. My oldest one was acting odd this morning and while I was checking the others, it began to go into spasms, and just died. I need some good advice. I’ve read a lot of articles in this group and feel as tho I could run across someone to help me for next year.

I'm very sorry to hear about your peachicks. You might could try asking your questions in the ER or Peafowl sections.
