  6/30 A peafowl nest...Belle our India Blue hen is sitting on her 6 peafowl eggs...and one guienna egg.  This is the first time she has gone broody...to sit on her own eggs.

She went to get a drink of water...and I snuck a picture...

Perhaps this guienna walking by was checking on

her egg?

  We've had two hatchings of peafowl eggs this summer so far...using hens as moms...

These hatched on 6/28... They are India Blues

Oh! My! These don't look like any youngins' I've had before!

We're here!

 These peafowl babies are a little older they were hatched under a mother chicken as well.   They are roosting well and make cute little cooing sounds when you walk by their pen.

They are getting their little tuffs on their heads...
