I've done a few posts, all in the wrong places. I am not computer literate, as far as these threads go, so for the next few weeks, things will be kind of messy! Peaches (pea-chick) is finally sleeping, so I can type with 2 hands, not that THAT is gonna make it any easier!!
I wanted Peafowl for a while, it's amazing what you can buy on e-bay! She/he/it is a miracle she hatched at all. I overbid just because the eggs were coming from Boston, I knew they wouldn't get too beat up thru USPS. WRONG!!! 1st batch took 7 days (priority mail), 2nd batch took 9 days (priority again). The nice lady offered to refund my money...but NO I want peas!, So I offer to pay even more ($20.) to get next day...I can't throw all these duds out, so they ALL go in the bator. And slowly I pick out all the duds, and drill and blow, maybe I can do some egg crafting with them.
I picked one up on Monday, and it felt kinda warm... put it down, and there's a pip on the side! These suckers never got turned, just however they rolled when I turned the "good ones". Got home from work, and there's Peaches! She is kind of slow, but I've never had peafowl before. A learning experience for me!
I've had chickens for about 10 years, I got lyme disease, and wanted to combat the tick problem with guineas. UGH. Get chickens instead. Really.
I've showed my japanese bantam a few times, and now I have SQ silkies, along with some black copper marans. I plan on going to some shows this fall, unfortunately being on Long Island is "geographically unsuitable". Went to Sussex county, and Delmarva, but the shows upstate are a HIKE.

I'd hate to call you stoopid in greeting you. Got a first name or nickname?
