Purple Peafowl Eggs

[Kedreeva]

@Jrowley35 I do still have eggs available, the next shipping date is 5/14 and the last shipping date is 5/21.

During laying season we give them a 30% protein game bird chow, extra vitamin E, B-complete, calcium (lots of kale, lots of dandelion greens/flowers, chopped broccoli, a little oyster shell), and omega, although to get them we use water mix-ins that have other vitamins as well. Out of laying season, we still give them a 20% protein chow, plenty of kale and other dark leafy greens, and mix poultry multi-vitamins in their water. A lot goes into the boys making that big, beautiful train every year, and the ladies need vitamin E, B, omega, and calcium to prevent chicks with muscular/skeletal issues like twisted toes and promote mental development. We did consult with an excellent avian vet (Dr. Orosz in Toledo) on what to supply the parent birds and why, and I've seen a marked improvement in the quality of the chicks from this year compared to last year.

Do you chop and wilt the veggies or give raw?

 

[Kedreeva]

Greens we just throw in whole and fresh. Lots of things like squash or melons or tomatoes or cucumber we just cut in half. Other things like broccoli or peppers we chop into bite size pieces but still feed fresh. The things that are better for them, like kale, we give them a lot of. The things like watermelon that are more like candy we feed sparsely as treats so they don't screw up their daily nutrition.

My purple pen is currently laying, and as I have set all the eggs I want to for the year, I am listing batches of eggs to ship. We are NPIP certified, and our flock ID is 34-645. I accept payment through PayPal (I can email an invoice to be paid by credit card, too, I believe). Eggs are $10 each, and you may claim up to 6 (peafowl only lay every other day, so this should ensure you get the freshest eggs). Shipping is $16.

Before purchase please bear in mind that peafowl have a lifespan of 15-20 years, require a high-quality/high protein feed (expensive!!) and vitamins to support their beautiful (and rapid) feather growth, need at least 10x30' pens, and are extremely loud in the summer. If you have questions about hatching or care, please ask BEFORE purchase!

The pen is composed as follow: One male purple pied split blackshoulder (proven split, we hatched BS chicks from his pen last year), one female purple pied, one female purple pied blackshoulder, and two female purple pied blackshoulders.

Babies potentially include: White, purple pied, purple dark pied, purple pied blackshoulder, purple dark pied blackshoulder, purple blackshoulder split pied, purple pied split blackshoulder, purple dark pied split blackshoulder, and purple split blackshoulder and pied.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask. Here are some photos of the parents:

he does this a lot what a nerd

He claimed this stump and refused to get off of it until I pushed him off

**Please remember that hatching eggs sales are subject to the whims of very beautiful but ultimately very silly birds, who may decide to stop laying at random, causing shipping to be delayed or possibly canceled toward the end of their laying season.

***Please note that I will ship your eggs the Monday following purchase. I can only guarantee that the eggs are from the birds above, and that they will leave my care intact and fertile. I cannot guarantee handling during shipping or your incubation method success rates.

hello i would like six eggs .. I am in NY and can have eggs shipped . My email address is [email protected]

 

[Kedreeva]

@sillyfab I can ship 6 tomorrow if you get payment to me. Your total would be $76, and I will send you an invoice shortly or you can send money via PayPal to [email protected].

 

[ForTheLoveOfBuns]

I am in Michigan, and I was wondering if you ever sell chicks. Also, could I pick up the eggs rather than have them shipped? I read that shipping reduces the chance of hatching. I've been searching for someone locally (or at least in-state) for a long time!

 

[Kedreeva]

@ForTheLoveOfBuns shipping does drastically reduce the chance of hatching. I do sell chicks, but local pickup only. I have 2 left, both purple dark pieds. You would be welcome to do a local pickup of chicks or eggs, I usually meet off site nearby for that. If you would like, you can send me a PM and we can discuss it.

Hello Great news our eggs are going to hatch we are going to have three pea babies..... can you tell me what to feed the babies any guidance will be a great help. I will send you pictures as soon as they arrive.

 

[Kedreeva]

@sillyfab They should be fed a high-% protein chick starter (if you can find 30%+ crumble, that is best). If you want, you can mix some of the medicated chick chow for chicken chicks into the chow, if you're worried about cocci, but if you're raising them by themselves off the ground away from other birds (which is best), then it's not really a problem to get chow without it.

Please remember, they need very hot temps to start off with, 95 degrees for the first two weeks. That is the most common mistake I see people make the first time they have new babies. If you need help, please feel free to email me at [email protected] I check there more than here, and I can send my phone # there too.
