will my peahen stop laying if i collect her eggs daily

[Joan Gaudet]

I am not absolute on the age but I have had them for about three yrs.. They have always been free range. I also feed them sunflower seeds and corn.
I just bought pellets and was thinking it may be diet. Can you recommend a good food for them. I would be so upset if they were inbred....
I as supposed to buy more from this same breeder in a month now I'm not so sure I should. I love these birds and just want them for pets.

I would go with a gamebird feed or some sort of feed that could get their protein up to 20% at least. They need at least 20% protein. Though as free range I would expect them to find what they need. They are good foragers. I would ask the breeder, if you do buy from them again, have they hatched out chicks before you buy them. That's only if they're old enough to do so. Can you post a picture of your peafowl please?

I know this breeder raises and hatches chicks. Has a very large flock...seems to be very clean housing. I will get game food today.
I saw at bottom of this pageterewasan Import Image with a check in it. But don't know how to get pics from my album to here. Can u help. Thank you. Joan

The one in the back is a hen. The one in front is a Spalding. As for sex I'm not entirely sure. At three years old it should have had a more developed train by now. I want to say male but I'm not entirely sure. The barring isn't exactly bold looks faded a little bit. Spaldings can be very difficult to sex, for me at least. Has that Spalding ever gotten a train that has eyes on it like a typical peacock? If not my guess is that it's a hen.

Wanted you to see pics with cock an his tail. He I drk ol or with geen neck and cock I was told be a Java Green. I'll look up what a Spalding looks like.
The. Other pic in my house had a hen the t was to be female of a black shoulder. Something got her on the nest. But other hen I sitting on the floor. They love to come in my house. Tell me what you think.

Where are you located? Could I buy from you? I'm having doubts about this other breeder.My. Bird are most important to me.

The hen is dark brown with green on her neck is what I meant to say.....
