peafowl

This seemed like the best place for this, but if there is a better one, Mods feel free to move it :) I am looking to create a mixed poultry flock (for eggs, meat, and fat) for a (future) homestead, and I wanted to get first-hand experience and/or research tips from y'all on species and breeds...

Are vitamins or a higher protein content more important in feed? I am comparing two pellets. Also are the vitamin levels in the lower feed too high for peafowl? One feed is for meatbirds: 22 percent protein, 1.2 lysine, 0.5 methionine, 3.5 fat, 4 fiber, 0.75 calcium, 1.25 max calcium, 0.6...

Hello, We are searching for a breeding pair of peafowl. We had a pair that was almost old enough but sadly our male passed suddenly. We are located in Pamlico County, NC. We are willing to drive a little for them. We have looked with not much luck. T~T

(TLDR: 4 birds missing, including 1 large male, no signs of attack, but no sightings ) Hi everyone, I’m new here and hoping to ask for some ideas/advice. I’m sorry for the long post, but wanted to give some background in hope that someone might have some insight - also I’m really upset at the...

hiya!! I have 4 darling birds that hatched this year and while i know the blue and piebald are both males, i have no clue on the two whites. Any clue? I don’t think I’d be able to wrangle them to draw blood for that method but i would like to know if possible before they grow tail feathers, i...

So we had two mother peacocks. One had two chicks, the other had four. The one with two ended up in the cage for babies, but the one with four is roaming free. Long story short the four babies somehow found their way into the cage with the other mother and seemed to have adopted her out of the...

Hi, I have a single peachick due to hatch (long story) next month and wanted to get some advice I know to keep it in a brooder for 6-8 weeks and what to feed it but I'm in two minds whether to rehome it. If I did keep it I would try my best to find another peachick of a similar age. We have...

Hiya guys! First time rasing peafowl and the 4 chick i hatched (i posted their hatch pics a lil while back) are doing amazing! Their wings are fully feathered now at 2 weeks and they are running around the brooder doing baby “displays” and chasing eachother to steal snacks. (My friends have...

I have 4 of these 1 month old peafowl I got at auction only labeled pea chicks. From the very minimal knowledge we have on peafowl we think they may have some green heritage. BUT AGAIN, very very minimal knowledge. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Milams Farm T&F

Long story short, I went to collect some Indian runner hatching eggs today to put under my broody muscovy hen. We were also given a peafowl egg for free (I said no but was outvoted 😂 ). The plan is to put them all in the nest at the same time but I'm not sure what the best thing to do is once...

I recently bought this female adding it to my breeding pen.. They told me its from pied parent I can see all these white spots on her back and wings.. I'm wondering if its white eye or not? do you recommend to mate it with IB male or White male? what I can get from here? I appreciate your help!

Hello, I’m a fairly new peacock owner. I live on 20 acres with a lot of other farm animals. My peacock is about 12 months old. He’s been locked up in his adult cage for 3 months & did great. I wanted to free range him along with my chickens. about 2 months ago I let him out. He’s done great, up...

I found this peacock for sale.. but I would like to know more about its color and its breed Is it Cameo? and is it pure Indian Peafowl? The seller have no idea about it and he is not familiar with Peafowl. Your help is appreciate..

I have hatched peacock eggs for a couple of years now and have always had good hatch rates. Usually I have a 90% hatch rate but lately I have had about 25%. Pretty much all of the eggs are fertile and seem healthy right up till it’s time to hatch and then they die. They don’t even internally...

I'm new to Peafowls and I've been reading a lot about them.. I'm confused about the difference between Dark Pied and Split White.. some people said its the same and others said its two different colors.. I bought 2 Peafowls.. first one is a 3 years old Peahen (BTW she produced 3 White and 3 IB...

Hi, I’m new here. I came here because the neighborhood I grew up in now, has feral peafowl running around it. I started up a YouTube channel Pasadena Peacocks to create a diary of their goings-on‘s. Frankly, it’s turned out to be a lot sadder than I expected. Predators got around 23/33 of the...
