sorry for posting early before I finished writing!! Dumb moment. 1.) I found my Americana hen dead this morning and I’m trying to find out cause of death. She was a 3 year old hen who had stopped laying, I think because we are having a extreme heat wave. Yesterday her behavior wasn’t out of the...

Very beautiful bird! Always loved Black Sumatra’s.

I learned a lot!

Thank you. :)

Thank you very much! That is what I thought too. :)

I posted last year when my peachick, Rashki, was younger, and I got mixed responses if I remember correctly one or two people said it was a Indian blue male and the other people said it looked like a Spaulding peahen. Just wondering what the verdict is now that he/she is a bit older! Because I...

Thank you!:D

This is my first peacock, I was wondering what gender he/she looks like to you guys? I was thinking male as he started displaying young, but I've read peahens display too so I'm not certain. He/She is exactly 51 days old today. I can take pictures of different angles/pictures if that is more...

She is a hen for sure :) She just started laying eggs

haha thank you. It sure is adorable. I am in love with the little guy.:love:) I feel so dumb right now, but at the same time, this feels like the exact kind of thing that would happen to me.:gig I don't even know the first thing about peacocks.

Yeah I don't even know at this point. I posted about this previously, my friend has some very nice chickens and she let me burrow a few eggs to put under my broody buff orpington hen. I grabbed some eggs out of her very tiny, very small little nesting box. I have literally no idea how their...

Thank you! That's what I'll do.

Hello, thank you for the help.I do have an old incubator I can put them.

Hello, thank you very much for the help. After they hatch in the incubator, can I place them back in with her? or will she not take care of them at that point?

How this all happened - my friend breeds some very nice chickens and I asked if I could have a few eggs to hatch out under my broody buff orpington (because I do not have a rooster). She said sure, just grab some from the nesting box. So, I went into the nesting box and couldn't find any eggs...

Thank you so much for the help!:):)

My hen went broody 2 days ago and she is still on the nest, but I won't be able to get a hold of the fertile eggs I want until tomorrow. Will it be too late by then? This is my first time doing this.

Oh, I totally agree. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get them to rehome or cull some of the roosters. They are actually very nice people otherwise, and my suspicion is because they raised the roos themselves they are now too attached to them to get rid of any of them.

I am curious about this too. I have no doubt that turkeys can be vicious towards hens, but so can any rooster in the right circumstance. That is why I made this thread. Just from watching my neighbors chickens and seeing the way roosters treat hens when they outnumber the females is pretty...

The biggest predators we have are definitely dogs and cats. The cats are easier to deal with in the sense that they only seem to go after chicks. I'm planning to get the sort of fencing (I can't remember the name for it!) that bends underground to prevent dogs from digging underneath.
