After reading all the reply post to my hatching fever dilemma I have decided that it is a good thing we hatcholics are spread across the country. That makes...
Dear Group, I'm new to the group and thought I'd give a quick introduction and ask a question or two. I'm Angie, mother of four wonderful children, aged 14 to...
Getting young birds and hand feeding them will make them tame. The color doesn't matter since all the colors (except Java Greens) are just variations of the...
Hi Angie and welcome to the peafowl group!! I agree with Ionia. Those that are raised in captivity and pampered, as a zoo bird very well may be, come in all...
Thank you, Sally and Iona, for your replies to my questions, and for welcoming me to the group! I was curious how long the peas are reared inside before they...
