Oopsie Peafowl

[NicInNC]

I THOUGHT I got two turkeys but I’ve just been informed that the one is a peafowl. Tell me all I need to know because I know nothing about peafowl. I’ve got chickens, guineas and a rescued broad breasted turkey that lives ON my donkey (that was not a typo. She rides on him all day and roosts on him at night) but I have never owned peafowl. Any idea what color she/he might end up being?

I am not sure what color it might be but the pattern is White.

How's your peachick doing? Do you have any questions?

It seems to be doing great! It and the turkey poult have bonded and it’s eating/drinking great!

I do have one question. Any idea how old it is based on the pictures?

I have some that have about the same amount of feathering, and they hatched on 6/22. Do you have a food scale that you can weigh it on? If you tell me how much it weighs in grams, I can give you a better idea of how old it is.

That's great!

I’m assuming that the magic water is ok for it? That’s what it’s been drinking. I make up a mixture of water, raw ACV, garlic and raw honey for my chicks/poults.

My little chick is still doing well and just started getting some darker feathers. I’m really curious to see what he/she ends up looking like!
