Peafowl for 2013

[zazouse]

ZAZ how long have you had Peafowl?

I got them Aug 2010, waited decades to get them and it was well worth the wait.

MinxFox, if you have trouble incubating we will incubate some of your eggs for you if you want. We sometimes have spare room in the incubator here in Pensacola. No charge. Just sign them and bring them over. You get them back hatched or not! I know you let your girls set but you might want to try some of the early eggs.

I would like if one or two of my Hens went Broody but they never do. I have a bunch of different types and some are known to go broody.

I got my new pair of Taupe yesterday and as always came home with them about 4pm,then had to complete another inside pen for them .I didn't want to put them outside in a breeding pen especially so close to it getting dark. They are truly a unique color. The male is a w/e and his train although for a 2 year old is decent length does show w/e already. I will try to get some good pics when I move them outside probably this weekend but as always I need to complete 3 more breeding pens outside under the net. Once these pens are done, the East side will be maxed out capacity and breeding pen wise. I'm hoping to get my Cameo W/E trio by this weekend as well.

I can't wait to see pictures! You can even post a picture of where there are now, just as long as we can see them! I am assuming that if you hatch peachicks from them that they will be quite pricey, right? Or you could include some Tuape eggs in the egg swap... What color are they similar to? Would it be like the color you would get from mixing the color cameo and white (as if the feather color was a paint!) and then you would get something like Taupe?

Thank you for the offer! I have to say I really don't like incubating eggs but also I don't have a need for tons of peachicks this year. All of my six peahens are old enough to lay now so if they all incubate a few eggs each I will be over-run with peachicks (I know at least two of my peahens are experts at hatching all the eggs they set on). I might sell a few eggs locally if the peahens don't do anything with their first eggs.

Today I found two more eggs in the dog box with the first egg I found on April 1st.
