White x Dark Pied is 100% pied. Being only split white, it would be 50% pied and the other 50% would be split pied. This is over a lot of birds that the numbers work out. For the whites, you should be able to see some spur bumps, if you look in a month or two you will see small 2 year old...

We are thinking up ways that people who cannot attend can still participate in some capacity. We may tape certain parts if we can. There is an auction for the convention as well as a raffle for a gorgeous quilt. The link to view the quilt is here...

Hi Nemo, It looks like a very beautiful Blackshoulder Peahen. She is likely blue in color and blackshoulder is her pattern. You can get some info on colors/patterns here on BYC sticky posts ( a good primer for peafowl) or the United Peafowl Association website or UPA on FB. If you have...

Woot!! msmolly, we received your registration so looks like everyone here on BYC will hold you accountable for convention pics :)

Very nice and great progress those plants made. Love the last pic with the peacock in it too

Msmolly, Awesome to hear. Glad to see other folks in Cleveland area with peafowl!!! Look forward to seeing you and feel free to contact me for any help you need with details or registration. It is a blast and great time.

Yes, the new site is still under build so they will be coming up soon. For the old site, we were stalled with bad links, older software platform etc. We made the decision to build new and migrate the good stuff as we could. We went live when ~70% built up and are finishing on the fly with our...

Hi Group, We are very excited for the convention and hosting it here in Cleveland. We will def share pictures and a run down. Yoda, can't wait to see you here. Been a busy year here and good hatch for what we set this year. I will get some pictures of the Bronze PP up here and post an...

SDpeafowl, NPIP is a federal program for poultry. Although a Federal program in nature, each state is left to interpret it on its own.and so each state acts a little different. From what I know, and we are NPIP tested in Ohio, the program consists of swabbing for AI and blood testing. The...

This is a great question. They are born without them and it takes from my current view of chicks, about 2-3 weeks before you start to see the feathers developing. After about 2 more weeks you will see that they are much much more prominent and now they have small crests that will continue to...

Hi Group Wanted to spread the word to other peafowl lovers about the 2013 Peafowl convention that is to be held Sept. 26-28 in Cleveland Ohio. It is a great time where fellow peafowl enthusiasts can meet up and chat about birds, genetics, colors and more. There will be guest speakers, a trip...

I would wait and see now, it is a 9 month bird so it should be smaller than a full size pea and the dose will be adequate. Ivermectin will need no immediate treatment follow up. Have you looked down the throat for obstruction? It may not be all about worming. It could have something stuck in...

Minx Thanks for sharing the old post by Deerman. By far one of the most knowledgable people that has been on this forum since it's existence. Brings back some great memories of him.

At certain auctions, like Mt Hope they specify with each bird at time of auction if it is from an NPIP flock or not. You can then get the NPIP paperwork from the auction vet. These at times will bring a higher price point b/c of the NPIP value, but not dramatically so. Whenever purchasing...

French If you do not want to work with the UPA, so be it. We are not a biased organization so your thoughts are misguided. You have sought and gladly been given info through many phone calls to UPA members and specifically BOD members, including myself. If you do not want to assist, then...

There are for sure examples of this at the auction, so don't let price mislead you. Many are culls or excess that someone has. Sometimes you can get some really nice birds but you need to visually inspect each one first. I have seen bidders run it up on a bird I wouldn't even let on my...

Please realize there are price differences at auctions opposed to from breeders. There is some risk at auctions and there may be a color type that is saturated for the auction driving down prices. $150 is not too unreasonable for a nice bird from a breeder. It costs about that much to feed them...

Before we get too far ahead of our selves...why not work WITH the UPA to create this database? You do not have to be on the Board to help or even a member, remember the club isn't about shows, rankings, etc. At its' heart, It's about sharing knowledge. The UPA is currently in the process of...

There can be a big difference in the two. The pied bird may only express a small amount if white in its pattern and generally does not carry the silver feathering on its back. A SP bird would have significant amount of white in its pattern and this silver feathering.

Hi there. Peafowl are divided into colors and patterns. Pied is a pattern and is readily available in IB peafowl. You can check locally for eggs, there is a breeder directory on the UPA site, www.peafowl.org and you can see who is in Florida near you. Many do ship eggs, including myself. It...
