Ooh, you're getting peacocks again?

Yep. This time an adult pair. I think they said they will give me some hatching eggs too but idk. Either way I'm exited

Yeah, that's awsome! You'll have to update when you get them.

I sure will. We are gonna build them their own coop soon, but when they first come home they will probably stay with the chickens, or if that doesn't work I have another empty coop where they can go

I recently had a Serama hen get an eye infection and a Rhode Island red hen with a respiratory infection. I noticed both on the same day, and this was about a week ago. I gave the Rhode Island red some VetRx through a syringe and gave the serama hen a little bit too as well as some terramycin for her eye. I did this for a couple days and they both look a lot better now thankfully

Well today has had its ups and downs. The chicks arrived in the mail, a mix of beifelders, wyandottes, leghorns, and Sussex. About 4 of each breed. Sadly one of my week old ameraucana chicks died. Not sure why but it looked like it had pasty but so maybe that's why. A lot of the new mail chicks had pasty butt too. I candled Miniscule Maddys eggs and 4 of 6 were developing. I fed the 2 that weren't developing back to the flock. Epecially since Maddy herself isn't eating as well and needs the nutrients. One of the eggs had a small red spot when I cracked it open so not sure what that was. Apparently my chickens have roundworm too so now I gotta find a way to treat that. Kinda stressful, but here's the new chicks

Cute! All the problems seem to come at once.

What will the set up of the coop look like?

What will the set up of the coop look like?

Probably a fenced in area with netting on the top, similar to my chicken runs. It will be pretty tall too since they like to fly and perch up high.

The dewormer came in today. I put a few tablets in the water bowls per coop, and made sure everyone is drinking. That should kill the worms and make them poop them out, so I will do a full cleaning on all the coops in a few days. 7 of the chicks had pasty butt. I tried to wipe it off yesturday but that didn't really work so they got a full bath today and now it's all better.
