Peafowl advice?
I’m new to peafowl, and I’m sure a lot of new peafowl owners will come here to BYC for advice in the future. I already know tips like medicated feed and twice/thrice deworming, but I feel like I’m missing quite a bit! Does anyone have general advice or anything that works for them? Not sure if...- MysteryKoiii

Distressed/sick chick
I am afraid one of my chicks is not doing well. Yesterday, my friend who has peacocks for 30 years, lost one of her chicks. These were 7 from an experienced breeder. I have noticed one of mine, who has been very subdued from the go, not being out with the others. Today, he has only wanted to...- Artistickatt

Brooder bottom options
I have been reading as much as possible and I am trying to look forward to planning for a better brooder bottom as my peachicks get older. I have read a lot about wire bottom hutches, which I would think would be terribly bad on their feet, does anyone use these mats so give fall through but...- Artistickatt

Soon to be chick mom, have a few peafowl questions.
I will be starting to raise four peachicks in the next few days (they will be a week old). I homesteaded and raised chickens a long time ago, (like before the internet was in homes), so I know the basics of brooding. I also have the benefit of a local friend who regularly raises them, and they...- Artistickatt

Getting peafowl shortly, need advice on feed!
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...- beesbeesbeeswoo

New Peafowl farmer
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- Milamsfarm

Incubating peachicks
Hello! I’m incubating chicks. One has already hatched and it only took about 4 hours from when I noticed the pipe. The second egg piped and we’re now going on 36 hours since then. It’s opened enough that I can see it’s breathing. Doesn’t seem to be sticky. Every once in awhile it chirps. I don’t... -
