Subject: Can you Help me DCT Author: AZKaren [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:14:58 07/18/08 Fri DCT, Sorry to hear about your storm damage--(I've been away from the board for a long time.) I have a question for you (or any one else)about white peafowl. Can anyone sex these little ones at around 3 to 5 weeks? I am would like to add some to my group but don't want to overload on males. I'm patiently waiting for the hatch of my first Indian Blues & Black Shoulders, looks like within a few days now. I just hope my hens turn out to be good mothers, there are two in charge of setting on the eggs. Thanks for your help.

Author: D C T --friendly poultry orthopedist [Edit] Date Posted: 19:20:41 07/18/08 Fri ....But white peachicks all seem very much alike until they get six or even twelve months old..... and I remain working myself to frizzled frazzle trying to get my pens back to normal. Am thankful that I do not have more of them..... hey, I need fewer peafowls and more money!!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My neighbor has 3 peahens and 1 peacock, its breeding season now, and usually all of them come over to my house to eat, just 1 peahen is coming now, not even the male, he is like standing guard over the nest.....Do males watch over the eggs and peahens that are nesting???

Actually even chicken males show more interest but even so do not help with the incubating. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
