I have old friends from when we were in the military that live in Tulsa. Are you anywhere near there? Just curious.....

About 90 miles I live N if Okla City and S of Guthrie. We have about 65 acres. I have peacocks and guineas. I am afraid to have chickens because they can carry a parasite they is detrimental to peafowl; and they cannot defend themselves. I have seen bobcats and coyotes!

Yes I have heard of Bobcats and coyote being in the area. My friend also says they have cougar and there is a rumor of a panther... Their last name is DeLong, who knows maybe you have heard of the name. Lol.
Never heard of anyone having problems with having chickens and peafowl together. Course I don't have any peafowl yet so I can't say much...

It is called a coccal worn and carries a parasite which causes Blackhead.

me too! How precious for those hens to be out of cages, felling the ground, dirt, air, sunshine, hay, etc...To be able to flap their wings and stretch their legs, dustbathe, scratch the dirt...all things every hen (and Roo) should be free to do everyday and anytime they want to.

My CCL eggs are on the way. Woot! I am looking forward to an autosexing breed for my laying flock. Always a sucker for those blue eggs in the basket.

I needed more eggs for the Easter Hatch. NEEDED, I say.

I had a basement bedroom after DD#2 moved out, but then DD#1 moved back in and her stuff is now in my "incubator room" and I wasn't able to participate in last year's hatch, but I decided that I was going to this year despite all her stuff being in my room! LOL

So very sad that hens are factory raised. But how beautiful that video was to see the new wonderful life ahead of all those hens. Brought a tear to my eye and warmed my heart.
