Pea cycles, poor babies had a rough night, the wind blew their feathers and they froze that way looks like they got a feather do




Dogs didn't seem to mind the weather they been running yotes all morning, guess they are out looking for frozen foods. LOL

Yea they all look like someone moosed their feathers

I fixed them some hot oatmeal with scrambled eggs, raisens and peanuts and they ate it up and went right back in the barn, they still can't get thawed out and are covered with ice beads.

Poor peas feathers are in such disarray, the ice holds them togeather so when they fly or pull a certin way their feathers are pulled out, guess they are molting a little faster today lots a flight feathers on the ground and hanging off the peas.

Where in Florida is she and how many peafowl and varieties does she have? I am in Florida too and I like meeting other local peafowl breeders. One of my favorite breeders has a bunch of peafowl and exotic pheasants. Welcome to BYC!

My peas don't know how tough other peas have it!!! They puff up and look all miserable in this cold, but from your photos and other people's weather reports, my peas don't have it tough.

We had some sleet falling today and the peafowl were not sure if they should stay under cover or not.

Mine are still in closed up house with heat. We don't have any falling weather, it's just cold!

Well I certainly learned something today.. A pea could get a layer of ice on it to where it could not pull it's wings from it's body and end up falling out of the tree when it got off balance trying to fly down with no wings cause they are stuck in place.

I made sure I checked and double checked for any fallen and injured peas cause lots of them had pulled out flight feathers from the ice packs.

Poor babies! I hope none of them are hurt!
