Yes I do!  I still have the same two males for sale.  They are five months and are looking good. 

Thanks,
Roland

Their mother is a Spaulding that I hatched from some eggs that I got from my cousin, Lewis Moseley from Dayton, Tx,  her father is a Java that he bought from you about 6 years ago or so.

No, you certainly don't want to heat stress her.  I'd leave her in a shady place with breeze if possible.

Do you know if there is Blackhead in your area?  If you see any sulfur yellow poops, then that would probably be it.  You would need Flagyl which you could get in a pet store for fish (or your vet).  Fish-zol would be the name of it at the pet store.  I can't remember the dosage right off the bat but it's one pill twice a day and I think they are 250 mg.

If it's not that, then she may have eaten something that disagrees with her or may have tried to eat something that has become lodged in her crop.  Is her crop empty?  It should be if she isn't eating.   If it's full and nothing seems to be going anywhere she might have sour crop.  Not sure what you give them for that.  You can empty the crop by holding her upside down and massaging the crop downward, making her throw up.  So if it's something she ate that isn't good (something rotten or poisonous) she will at least get rid of it.

I can't think of anything else to tell you.  You could go to the feed store and get a powdered antibiotic to give her in the water.  I have a hen right now myself that kind of sounds like yours.  She's been quiet and looks to be resting standing up with her eyes partially closed for the past two weeks.  She drinks but isn't enthusiastic for grain.  I don't know what her problem is, either.  :(

Hope I've been some help.  Not to draw you away from these forums, but if you want to join the Rare Heritage Turkey List on Yahoo there are alot of turkey people on there who may have an idea.  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RareHeritageTurkey/

I will be getting about 6 chickens for laying this coming spring and want a couple guinea hens to keep the veggie garden free of ticks and beetles (the chickens can tame the yard). I've always wanted peafowl too, mostly for the feathers and they are just beautiful. Can i house all of the birds together? I was planning on housing the chickies and guineas together, but what about the peafowl? also, i'm in PA so it gets cold in the winter. I'm not worried about the chickens in the coop, but how hardy are the peafowl? will they need their own coop? I'm on 3 acres, mostly woods surrounded by mostly woods. I'm not sure if we have predators (coyotes or something) since we are new to the area so i want to keep them safe also.

any advice about the compatibility of specific chicken breeds with guinea hens and peafowl, care for the peafowl (i'm up on my chicken care- my mom's had chickens for years) and cold-hardiness would be appreciated.

I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I just wanted to give an update.  Both of the birds mentioned above are still alive.  We treated the older bird every day for about a month.  We got the knot to almost go away entirely.  I also added 2" of dirt to their pens to make the ground softer.  I took down their high roosts.  They were jumping straight down from their roosts, making for a hard landing.  Not enough room.  They roost on some 2' saw horses now, and seem to be happy.  ]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:30:42 +0000 Http://peafowlareus.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=585&PID=2462#2462 Peafowl : teach bird to roost?

I hope he lands on his feet when he falls.LOL  If you have him free of parasites,  then put another pea in there with him (preferably one that is about the same age).  It should teach him to get on a roost.]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:18:26 +0000 Http://peafowlareus.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=594&PID=2461#2461
