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...

All It is very sad for me to make this post, the hardest post I have had to write. On Saturday May 5th, 2012 our friend Deerman passed away. We all are grateful for the wisdom and information he shared with us. Myself and many others were eager learners and Deerman was a great teacher. We...

nooo, not a peachick....but she is our newest little 'chick'. We started our incubation project waaaay back in April and on Dec 23 the fruits of our labor 'hatched'! We welcomed Savannah Grace into our family just in time for Christmas. We spent our first night home on Christmas Eve and...

We are in Northeast ohio (Geauga county) and attend quite a few swaps in the southern part of the state but haven't really heard too much about anything up our way. Just thought I'd toss up a thread to see if there was any interest in getting a swap up here in our area going; Cleveland/Akron...

Just thinking that at the end of the breeding season lots of people have extra chicks, yearlings or breeders left over that they are looking to sell. Most won't be posted in an auction ad so maybe we can see what everyone has and also fill some peoples needs. Don't need to post prices as it...

just thought I'd share DH's newest pride and joy...a peach peachick hatched from our pen with a silver pied split peach male, two black shoulder peach hens and silver pied hens. pictures (and my unsteady hand doing so) aren't doing this baby justice, sooo cute! first pic is just the peach...

Took this kids on a little trip to Detroit and Toledo, to hit both zoo's. Were at the Detroit zoo today where they have three pairs of IB's free ranging. One uber friendly boy came to visit us at lunch. our 3 YO DS was absolutely insistant that he was one of ours and we must take him home...

Up for sale today I have 12+ hatching eggs from our flock of olive eggers! Our OE's are 2nd generation. They an initial cross of a BCM and Amer but lean more towards the Amer as far as features. They look very similar to our Amer with clean, slate colored shanks and full beards. All chicks...

Our 8 YO DD asked if she could take some pictures/video of the some of the peafowl in the new pens. Among several not so great videos, she managed to get one that turned out pretty good, for an 8 year old. Just thought I'd share. Video is of our new opal white eye peacock. As you'll see...

I have a bit of a break in my wait list so I've decided to offer up some eggs from our flock of BANTAM Russian Orloff's. This auction is for 6+ hatching eggs. These are NOT hatchery stock (hatcheries do not even carry bantam orloff’s) but are from our flock our show quality birds. Our birds...

So i've had the same avatar pretty much since I've been a member of BYC but i've been thinking about changing it out....I keep holding off b/c I know I tend to recognize folks by their avatar (as opposed to their screen name) and get thrown off if someone changes. lol, i know, i'm easily...

I had the blessing/honor of marrying my best friend! Over the last ten years we've had more joy, excitement and happiness than I could have ever even imagined, not to mention three of the most awesome kids ever! I just had to share...in this day and age with so many marriages ending in...

we've been doing a lot of research into acquiring an LGD to protect our flock. After a lot of reading and talking with various breeders we decided on a Maremma. We spoke with several breeders and were anticipating at minimum a 5+ hour drive to pick one up until we happened upon a breeder local...

These are hand crocheted by me in a variety of colors. All are available in a beanie style or with a cuffed rim. Sized to fit newborn/infants, similar to the beanie style given to newborns in the hospital. Colors available are All American (red, white and blue), Mint chip (mint green and...

Not sure if this belongs in the the swap, etc thread, if so, mods please move. The Mt. Hope spring auction will be March 31-April 2, 2011. We can hardly wait here, the trip will be a bit of a late anniversary present to each other--our 10th is on March 10. Since with the farm and kiddos we...

Only a few more weeks left of the cold and snow up north here but we are thinking SPRING!!! With it soo miserable outside, we've been hunkering down determining final breeding pens, finalizing spring sales and putting together our 'wish list' for the spring auction in Mt Hope. Hoping to add a...

One of my very good friends is about to have her first baby and is planning on nursing. She has already ordered a regular fabric type nursing shawl but I wanted to surprise her with a homemade one that I crocheted. I have been searching and searching and google-ing for a good pattern but...

Deerman, Welcome back! The peafowl forum has missed you! Just because we all want you to relax now but still get your 'pea-fix' I thought I'd start a post with some pictures to keep you smiling! Anyone that would like to post some pics for deerman, please (PEAS) do! how many pages of pea...

Had the camera out this morning to take some pics of our new peas (not these guys) but couldn't help myself and had to snap a few of some of the others with a snowy backdrop. Our IB pied, one of our bronze males and one of the SP and a bronze hens we have decided to spend a few minutes perched...
