I've had 2 eggs disappear from a free range peahen's nest that I know of. There are other nests I'm looking for. Only a few shells remained. A friend found...
Hello Darlene, Try http://www.cutlersupply.com/cart/ they are very knowledgeable and could help you out. Look under Styrofoam incubators. Good luck, Roger To:...
The yellow ones we have are Quail egg holders. Mine are in a regular holder (white) & upon someone's advice I also manually turn them 180 degrees each day...
I just talked with a friend. She says her egg changer is white so evidently this one is for quail eggs..........however the cups look big for quail eggs....
I have a hover bator and my egg turner is yellow and made for chicken eggs, I also bought one for duck and peafowl which is also yellow but has a wire adaptor...
I'm looking now and found a yellow egg turner on their site that looks just like the one I have .... it for chickens. I'll call them tomorrow and find out...
Cathy, can I email you pictures so you can give me you opinion? The little motor on the turner doesn't make any noise at all but I'll plug it in again to see...
Just plugged it in again and hear it running. Sure is quiet. This one has 42 cups for eggs. I see little holes on each side of the cups....maybe where the...
I sent you pics of mine, don't buy one for the bigger eggs, what a waste of money lol look at the pis and you'll see why, shoot you can make your own! :) Cathy...
Hi Cathy, I just came back in. We are on 5 acres and I've been following at a distance the hens trying to find nests. Think the one whose nest was robbed...
We had a peacock attemp to help us waterproof our deck today by grabbing the brush full of waterproofer by the bristles. He got a good bite on it. Now his...
Darlene, I have had to cage my pea hens each breeding season for years. If I don't something gets the eggs or the hen or both. I turn them back out in late...
I'm in over my head....that's for sure. I only have one aviary that is 12 feet by 12 feet or larger with a roost and is 8 feet high. Would 4 peahens be...
I have 6 hens and one male in a 15' x 40' pen with shelter. They do fine. I think you girls would do well in the 12' x 12'+ aviary you have. Having a new...
Hi Darlene Even in the aviaries, I teach my hens where I want them to lay. (Inside the barns, in corners.) Hens will lay their eggs where they think it will be...
Hello everyone, just looking for some advice from those more experienced than I. I just purchased a Java pair of peafowl. Both are happy, healthy, and...
I would be VERY cautious here. That pocket is the sinus & I bought a peahen under the same circumstances but luckily I had her quarantined. We treated her...
I am pretty sure it is an injury and not an illness they were treating it for. The wife was able to explain exactly what happened. Apparently they were showing...
Are you talking about that little bubbly lump (kind of looks like a fat tick?) If so, that's nothing like what I thought you meant ;-) Trina ... [Non-text...
Yup! That's the only "eye injury" I can see wrong with him. He doesn't exhibit swelling or oozing. Just that little black thing. Would it hurt to continue his...
Yea! The first chick of the season. It is a high % pied java. I was surprised at the color since I don't have any pied Spaldings. The parent male and...
Congratulations Iona!! You sound so bubbly and excited! (-: What are we doing? I'm going bananas. Now I can see the importance of proper housing. One of...
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? He is wheezing with his mouth open now. I have him on Terrymicin becuase its the only antibiotic I have around and...
He's ingested a poison, not a bacteria - something else you probably have on hand is honey. I've found honey great for many things; haven't tried it to aid...
He burned his throat area with the deck sealer. There is little you can do now for the damage to his throat. Giving the Terrymicin may prevent any secondary...
You are right about the hen not accepting the eggs when you move her. But she does need to be caged for her own protection and she will probably lay more...
