Peafowl for 2013

[3BirdGirlz]

My last two peachicks out my blackshoulder peacock that died not to long ago have been killed... They hatched under a cochin broody hen that was left with the rest of chickens since she would not sit anywhere else, and our dumb turkey went into the nest and killed the peachicks.  I was excited for these peachicks since they were going to be the last ones from my beautiful blackshoulder...guess not anymore...  

I on the other hand cannot wait until next year's breeding season.  My spalding peacock is getting more beautiful by the day, and I am excited about what I will get from the new Opal WE peacock.

I'm sorry about your babies Glad your looking forward to next year!

Sorry for your loss... My turkeys have killed many chicken chicks and broken legs and ripped off wings of others, they are mean!

Thanks you guys... The thing is we have someone who will buy her (finally no more turkeys!) but they can't pick her up anytime soon.

I have had broody hens do the same thing when a chick leaves another broodies nest and gets to close, then the rest of the hens tear it apart, seen it many many times here.. that is why I decided not to leave my pea eggs under my chicken hens cause I got no way to separate them.

Candled the last 5 eggs under Apple and they are duds.. now I got to figure out how long to let her sit this time to get her to stop laying

now that I think about it I let her sit her last batch and and I had to take them.. she went a month before she started breeding again. guess I will just steal them next time she is off the nest.

You are just wrong for that

I have 3 hens coming a year old and if they are like my others they will be laying next, but I am hopefull their rough start before I got them will stop that from happening
