Show off your Peas!

[casportpony]

Casportpony,,crooked toe needs to be addressed the first day they are hatched.I had a Midnight B/S that had severe crookedness in all toes on both feet.I waited for 3 days then started my patent-pending shipping tape remedy but every few hours I noticed the tape was off probably from other peas picking at it,ect. Finally on about day 4 I got some 100mph duck tape and used but I never could get his outside toes to lay straight and flat as I folded over the other half of the duck tape on top of his feet.Seemed like the first joint of those toes was already "off alignment" but I thought if I got them close they would stay straight.Normally only 1 day is needed with the entire foot taped with shipping tape but I left the duck tape on for 4 days and when I took it off his toes was just as crooked as wehn I started.He looks terrible now,almost to the point I've considered putting him down because I don't think he'll be able to get around when he's older good enough to consider breeding with.Crooked toes needs to be addressed when the peachick is dried off completely and 2 days later--fixed!!

The feed store wouldn't do anything with him for the first three days, so I took him and did my best, but like you said, it was too late. This year almost every peachick the feed store hatched had some sort of foot and/or leg problem. It's a real mess there and breaks my heart whenever I go.

Meet more of my peas...

This is Green-pea. She's my favorite chick and she follows me everywhere. She's the one in my avatar.


This is Pea-Orange


This Pea-Blue


And this is Pea-Pink


There are two more that I didn't take pictures of today, Red-pea and Pea-Black.

What beautiful girls you have there! Thanks for introducing them!

Are your girls keeping their band-color names?
Or perhaps at some point we could help you come up with other names for them???

Here is one of my yearlings that I took home from the feed store last year. He hatched with both splay leg and curly toe that I *tried* to fix, hence the name, CT, which stands for "Crooked Toe". I need to improve my foot fixing skills for sure...

WOW!!! He is a BEAUTY!!!

I would love to have some ideas for names!

Forgot to mention that Pea-Pink and Red-Pea are both boys, so I need 4 girl names and 2 boy names.

Videos are fun sometimes, too.

Here's Muppet and her buddy Hiccup - they are both IB split Bronze, I was hoping they'd turn up a pair, and sure enough!

The kiddos being cute and silly.

Some displaying.

Enjoy.

Great videos Mmmaddie!
It's nice to see them in action for a change.

Casportpony, can you tell us about the personalities or traits of your girls and boys? That's how I usually come up with names.
Or, maybe you'd prefer some suggestions based on their "colors"? For example, in Japanese, green is "midori," so you could change Green-Pea's name to Midori (although I think Green-pea is a pretty cute name!).

We have some that drop in our yard almost daily. We think that they are roosting in the mahogany trees at the back of our property. They are pretty to watch. Sometimes they wander right up to the house, and peep in through our windows!! LOL I have no idea how many there are in total but I only see a hanful ata time.
