I miss Dragon. You talking recently about how you miss your boy White Lightning made me think of Dragon. The raccoons got him. He had 4 children, 3 peahens - 1 peacock, and 2 of the hens were also killed by raccoons. Now what is left of his lineage is Snow White (white peahen) and Peep who I still haven't learned if he is split to white or dark pied. Someday I will have a pied peacock again, just not anytime soon. No more getting new birds until I get green peafowl. What do you mean by bad luck? If you are free-ranging peahens and are losing them during the spring-summer time, it can be from them wandering off in the woods to make a nest. They sit on the eggs even at night so they are very vulnerable to predators. Many people say that often they get people needing to buy peahens because they lost some free-range ones because they were killed on the nest. Zaz free-ranges her peafowl and she has several free-range peahens. She keeps track of them and follows them to their nest and I believe she takes their eggs to keep the peahens from getting killed on the nest. Also Zaz has guard dogs too that help keep predators back. Some people build temporary shelters around their nesting peahen. Yet another thing people do is pen up a peahen and a peacock for the breeding season so that the peahen lays her eggs and hatches them in the safety of a pen.

No lol i don't think that was it I'll explain at first I had two females one was three one was one the three year old died three months after I bought...didn't even know she was sick and the one year old left and never came back it was such a shame my four males need some lady's they will show their feathers to just about any living thing that walks by including me! Hahahaha

so it took me three hours on the phone to get my non computer friendly father a know how on how to send images to me....so here are some more pictures of the birds and the buddy birds...they should be a lot more clear cause he used his camera compared to the ipad.....well here are the photos

y does this white bird look like the neck is skinny

so the legs look very white in the pictures....so do we think they could be pied now...and are we sure they would still be male bs then....
heres a couple more pics
hope this helps

not sure why I couldn't send to the screen the bigger images...so I had to send the smaller ones....
so....THOUGHTS......I think they are pied based on their leg coloring...its that how you can tell if it would be pied..they have whiter feet so to speak...

Sorry, I don't see anything that would change my opinion on the BS chicks. I do have a concern about the Whites face. When I blow the pic up it looks like there is a black stain and some puffiness in the sinus. Does anyone else see it or am I just imagining it?

 

[birdman55]

you are correct....that bird got into his fan and injured itself...I feel so bad for these birds...u know....I don't want the white one....I have seven whites myself..but he wont get ride of them unless I take them all....so

Leg coloring isn't going to tell if they are pied. All juvenile BS males( and they are males) have white legs. There are 3 BS males in this picture, sorry it isn't closer, but you can still see that they have white legs even at an older age than the ones you are looking at, none of these 3 are pied.

oh ok thank you very much for the info....do you guys think its a good idea to get a bird that has been thru a traumatic event like the white male...?

Surely you can get your fifty dollars back out of him when you rehome him. Then again it can be good to get some new blood in the white line you have.
