Hello everyone! I am new to the group and a new peafowl owner. I am an avid bird lover, but most of my knowledge is with Parrots. During the spring and summer,...
Hi Amie, I do not live in Michigan anymore, but, when we did, as children I remember mostly that all the fowl had a shelter to get into that blocked the wind...
I live in Eastern Ohio and we get a lot of snow off of Lake Erie that about an hour's drive from here. Our peafowl pair are in a large A shaped aviary. There...
I am glad somebody asked that question, we live in FL and my husband has had it with hurricanes and wants to move back up north (we are from Ohio) But of ...
I am in southern Ohio...kinda in a triangle between Dayton, Cincy, and Columbus. I see a few other farms with peafowl, but their birds are free renge and they...
Hi. I wanted to let you know that I've switched to EarthLink for my Internet access, and I now have a new email address. So please send all email to my new...

I've got a sick 1 1/2 year old Peahen - her name is Opal. We noticed her
being pretty lethargic, ruffled feathers and diarrhea a couple of days ago
but...
Hi Jetta, You can also take yogurt and mix it in the mash to help her gut and her appetite. I had some young birds that got a super soaking from some...
Thanks Sally, Yay! I have Yogurt and will offer that in the morning with the mash. I
picked up another can of canned cat food so I'll keep giving that for the...
Winter is coming and I'm getting nervous about my free range birds. I live in Maryland where the winters are moderate, but we occasionally get a big storm and...
I have had a bunch of free range peas do well in snow storms here in NC. I have seen them fly down from the trees with a good covering of snow on their backs....
Thank you for that Iona. What has scared me is that I recently heard of a man near me who had something like 100 free ranging peas. And one winter a bunch of...
That sounds a little far fetched to me. If the temp dropped into the zeros it might happen, but I still doubt it. Kathleen, If you are really worried about...
Now I know why I love FL. It does get cold here, but, no snow and ice. If they roost in a particular area you could have a heat lamp come on at a certain time...
Your right Iona. I'll just pen them for the storms. We had quite a rain here last week and the birds got soaked, but never seemed to mind it. Im probably...
Maybe the 100 free ranging peas that fell out of the trees were struck by lightning. Sometimes we have lightning with snow storms around here. Monica in Ohio ...
Someone posted a suggestion recently about adding vitamins to the birds diet when they are stressed or in severe weather to help them. Where would you find...
Hi Amie, The "Vitamins & Electrolytes" that I put in my poultry water is manufactured for Durvet, Incorporated and I buy it at TSC (Tractor Supply Company). I...
I am planning to go to TSC tomorrow for horse stuff...I'll definately look for the vitamins you suggested. (Thankx for the suggestion) Where abouts in Ohio...
Amie, The vitamins are in a small yellow bag, ask someone to help you find it. TSC employees are usually very helpful. I live in Eastern Ohio near the Pa....

HI,, my name is Joy.. I live in N C .....new to the group.. and new owner of a peafowl.. I already own chickens and turkeys.ducks geese.. and horses/ponies.....
If the bird is really 4 months old I would say it is a male since it has lots of color already. Hens do get color, about what you are seeing now, but that is...
Joy, I would say it's a male, because of the barred longer feathers in the tail section. It's hard to tell if the neck feathers are blue or green in the...
