LOL about another barn.  I have one that is 100' x 20' and another that is 80' x
24'.   Each is broken into stalls or covered shelters with runs.  I still run
out of pens.
I have the brooders hanging from the rafters in the horse barn.  I guess I could
say I have 3 peafowl barns.

Hello and goodmorning to all;  the latest on my pea's is they now seem to be
getting along great.  I did pull 1 male out of the group pen and all the rest
seem to be getting along fine.
um, so fine that I have something like 40 chicks in the brood barn under lights
and another 20 eggs or so due to hatch in the next few days.
looks like I may need to build another barn...

Saw dust is fine for bedding, but I would fill up the low spot with sand or dirt
before I put the sawdust in the pens.

We put some pine mulch in one of our pens that we got from a tree

mulch held the water in making a spongy mess. Had to shovel it all out and
add sand.

I think sawdust would just make a big mess... Plus is can grow mold when it gets
wet and eventually rots..... I would put in sand or peagravel.

Hello Steve,

      Every time I look at them I go back and forth on who is who. I'm thinking
a cock and 2 hens, that would be a great start for white peas. We still have
them in the brooder barn so it's kind of hard to get a good look at them. If the
weather stays semi warm they might not be to far from going outside so we can
get a better look at them.



Matt, what is your website? or the link for the DNA testing, is it expensive?

Hi I have just brought two white peafowl aged 16 weeks. They are supposed

to be a male and female. When I asked the guy I brought them from how he

knew, he said you have to watch them in a crowd, the males just behave

differently. One is bigger than the other and my BS male only flew at one

out of the pair, the bigger of the two, who has slightly longer legs. So I

guess he knew which was the male too.



But only time will tell,

Carla is correct. At about a year the males' tail will look different than

the females. Otherwise if you 'just have to know' sooner, you can send of a

feather or blood sample for DNA testing. The thicker legs, etc isn't very

fool proof as far as I have ever found. We have a link to a lab on our

website.

Mold could grow in the large mulch too but here in the San Antonio area we
get mostly dry weather.  I'll keep an eye on it.  I've used it for a couple
years now without any problems.  Once in a while I will see some growth
where food spills out of the pans and gets wet.  I immediately remove it
with a shovel.  So many things to be aware of taking care of animals.  How
are you Sally?

it is ok but can allow mold to form and layer in and get deadly. the best
think is dry sand, white sand like used to mix morter and some people use
play sand but it iiss wet and needs to be opened and dried first. I use
busted cinder blocks in my driveway where there is holes as it sucks up it's
weight in rain water to prevent puddles and stabilize the base of the puddle

perimeter, etc;  I miss my chicks being on the porch and so assessable for

Seems like it would soak up the water easily.  I use large mulch.  The water
tends to lay low and the top isn't mucky.

LOL still in the process!!  The building came down in a big wind storm, it was
an old un-steady one, which helped us from not having to pull it down.  Thought
I had the fencing for the outside but it was only 4' when we got it so back to

her done.  For now the poor birds are locked in a 10'x10' dog kennel.  They are

I'm late but want to thank you for this information.  Brunfelsia is a
beautiful flowering plant.  I read they are poisonous to dogs too so guess
all animals.  Probably won't plant any.........I may have a stupid pea that
would mistakenly eat some and will eventually get a dog.

Hello Darlene!

I may think deers wont eat Brunfelsias since this plant it is poisonous in
all of its parts and all off my birds refuse them. I think animals taste a
little and left them and they also have like a sixth sense to refuse
toxicant plants.

Deers eat most of plants!! but I bet this one nop!

Check out this site for more info:

http://www.floridata.com/ref/B/brun_pau.cfm

PS: I have all my birds in the garden with 12 shrubs of brunfelsias and they
do not eat them and they had never been intoxicated either.

I do also have noticed wich plants they hate and do not molest at all. For
example Clivias, Brunfelsias, Bulbinellas and many others.

I think most of it is unless it is used for swimming pools. Sounds like you have
your Pea's in a happy place! We are moving ours down to their area this week
end. It will be their first time on the ground :) They have grown so fast! The
were 2 months old on the 7th and hardly fit in their cage anymore! I have
figured I have 2 boy and 1 girl. Gee, gonna have to get another hen or 2! Did
you post pics of your new aviary? Would love to see it.

       Every time I look at them I go back and forth on who is who. I'm thinking
a cock and 2 hens, that would be a great start for white peas. We still have
them in the brooder barn so it's kind of hard to get a good look at them. If the
weather stays semi warm they might not be to far from going outside so we can
get a better look at them.

Hi I have just brought two white peafowl aged 16 weeks. They are supposed

to be a male and female. When I asked the guy I brought them from how he

knew, he said you have to watch them in a crowd, the males just behave

differently. One is bigger than the other and my BS male only flew at one

out of the pair, the bigger of the two, who has slightly longer legs. So I

guess he knew which was the male too.

Carla is correct. At about a year the males' tail will look different than

the females. Otherwise if you 'just have to know' sooner, you can send of a

feather or blood sample for DNA testing. The thicker legs, etc isn't very

fool proof as far as I have ever found. We have a link to a lab on our

Sorry for all the late responses and know I'm missing answering some.
Regarding the crests......they are taller and more bunched together which is
the trait of Green.  They have colors coming out on their wings and tails
but hard to see unless sun is shinning on them.  I hope it becomes more
predominant.

Hello Darlene

Well, you have a nice flock of peacocks!! I regret of not keeping some of
last year's hatchings. This year my peahens didnt incubate their clutch of
eggs, maybe was due to the very bad rainy season. Maybe next year!


Darlene if you wantto see if those peahens are spaldings just take a look at
their crests, they must differ from those IB's ok.

I dont think Icould get bored of my birds but it seems taht some people do,
loke your neighbourg!! jeje

Good day!

Edgar

1 IB breeding male
1 IB male that will be breeding next year
4 IB hens

2 IB - 3 month old Pied from the above peas (believe 1 male, 1 female)
1 IB - 3 month old I think is a male given to me by the farm a mile away
(left over from a sale)

2 breeding Spalding hens (I think). They showed up one day and stayed a
couple weeks then started going back and forth to a farm with peafowl about
a mile away. The owner said he didn't want any more IB males (thinking they
were juvenile IB males) so wanted to catch and sell them. Next time they
were here I managed to get them into the pen with food. They seemed
different so sent some pictures out and responses were they are Spalding
hens. They have green coming out in their tails and wings. I thinking I'll
get a Java male to breed with them. Any suggestions?

Good Morning John,  I'm curious to know if your peacocks have settled down
any or if you've figured out the cause of their aggression.  Noticed my big
boy chasing the younger one yesterday.  I may have to pen the younger one up
during breeding season.  Don't know what I'll do when my 2 -  4 month old

Don't know if I ever answered this.  My birds love the Colby/Jack Cheese
that's marbled white/yellow.  I buy the all natural.  I keep a bird feeder
on the porch for the wild birds and also a pan of Wild Bird Feed mix on the
ground for the peas.  They eat quite a bit of it.  I've heard some folks
feed there peafowl nothing but cat or dog food.  I need to purchase a bag of
Maintenance Game Bird Feed next time I'm near the feed store.  Have only
been able to locate Sportsman's Choice around here.  I've noticed the birds
will go at "fresh" food put in their dish but can turn their nose up at it
if it's been setting a while.  Anyone else have that problem?

far as I have ever found. We have a link to a lab on our website.

My peachicks aren't white.  One IB and 2 Pied but I was able to tell some
time ago by the size of their feet and the males legs being a little longer.
Now it's obvious because the color in the necks of the 2 males is prominent.

We have a trio of White pea's about 3 months old - ish. Does anybody have
any tips on sexing them? The only thing I have noted so far is one has
thicker legs than the other 2.
