i just hatched out my first peachick... had to deal with a slipped tendon straight off the bat . what else should i be looking out for and do i need to know about raising one by hand by itself??
I love these birds, but we are traveling more and not able to give them as much attention as we used to. Fox island pickup. $1500 with the 15 foot, very solid aviary. I also have peachicks that just hatched.

I haven’t hatched peafowl in years. I have 4 eggs in my still air incubator. Today is day 17. I’ve candled every few days since day 7 and I haven’t seen veins at all. The eggs are very hard to see through so I wasn’t too worried. But the development seems to have stopped. I can’t find any good...
My peahen just started laying this clutch of eggs. There are only two eggs so far. Several times I have found the peacock sitting on the eggs though. He hasn't broke any or been aggressive. Why is he sitting on the eggs though instead of her?
Hi, I would just really love some advice.
The farm I am on has Peahens and I've accidentally scared one away from its eggs when doing my jobs, do you know if it will return to its eggs please and will they survive this?
Thanks.
Hey there! This is my second post, the last post has been very informative and helpful so I’ve decided this website might might help with this type of situation. We just went to a park/sanctuary and we found this egg! We believe it may be a peafowl egg as there were many females & males there...
Any opinions on what would cause a few of my peacocks who had already gotten pretty far along in the re-growth of their train feathers to now be losing their train feathers? I used ivermectin pour on for worming (and kills mites/lice) about 2 months ago.
My peacock is 4 years old. I had to transport him and after the trip he is not standing alright.
His toes are all curled backwards and he doesn’t really stand, but instead supports himself in his elbows.
Could it be riboflavin deficiency? Could it be stress from the trip? I checked and no toes...
Good evening everybody.
My peafowl of age 16 months could not eat on her own but when I put a feed roll in her mouth, she easily swallows it. It doesn't seems to have flu or any other clear symptoms.
what do you guys think she is suffering from and what is the cure?
her poop is milky white...
My peachick of 4 months old suddenly has a really bent leg. It must be dislocated or broken or something because it’s REALLY bent. Wasn’t like this yesterday; seemingly just happened this morning or overnight. It was recently moved to a wire cage. Could that have anything to do with the problem...
Hi All, I live in Lucas Valley California and there are wild peacocks on my family's property (since before we moved in in 2004). THe last peahen had four boys and we only have two peacocks now it seems and no peahen. Can someone identify the breed ... possibly Emerald? It's not a straight up...

Hello all,
I have an adult peacock who has been perfectly happy and healthy. Today, whilst he was roaming around he suddenly seemed to take fright and ended up leaping in the air and flapping quite a bit. I didn't see what caused the outburst, just saw him mid-jump. However, after I'd calmed...
Help! I need suggestions please. One of my peacocks got out of his pen and has flown very high up in a tree. Any suggestions on how to get him to come down or what to do?
