We do not feed or water the peachicks for 48 hours.This lets NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE. The eggs' yolks will supply the moisture and nutrition that is needed for the first 72 hours.
After 72 hours, we give the peachicks mashed up boiled egg and sprinkle Vionate Vitamins as top dressing. We feed this for 2days.
Then mix in a 20% CHICK STARTER GROWER. This is fed until they are about 3 to 4 months old.
After 4 months they get switched to 20% laying feed. Our peachicks are always big and healthy.
By the 4th week, they are weaned from the heat and go into an outside brooder with heat on, in the car port. The reason we do this: in case a cold spell comes through, we can put a brooder light and cover them up.They stay here for about one month, then to the grow out cages until they are about 4 months old. From the grow out cages they go in a pen on the ground.
Once they are on the ground they are WORMED ONCE A MONTH.
When the chicks hatch in the hatchery compartments-with only eggs from one breeder pen to each compartment- we put wing bands in each wing, record the pen the eggs are out of, and the date they hatched.
The information is recorded in a book. If one dies, a red line is marked through the wing
band #. When we sell one, we use a green
marker through the wing band. A different color is used each year.
The silver band goes in the
right wing, color band in the left wing.
If we Buy or trade, we try to find out how old the peafowl is
and then wing band it.
