Thank you for your reply, I had been wondering about this since I saw it posted about using too many hens per drake.
I'm going to stick with my original order thanks to your info and get the 1 Drake and 3 hens now that I know it will be okay.
Thanks again

I Traded 2 mandarin hens and some doves for my original white pair and 2 grey pairs from a show breeder Janet Collins. One gray pair was of show quality but unfortunately...

Thanks so much for all the reply's, I got the safeguard goat wormer 10% suspension. I will be doing the 3 cc to a gallon waterer since it's just a pair of peafowl.

Thanks Plain_view_farm Thats the thread I read yesterday and decided to use the Cayenne after reading it.
