Yaaaaaaasssss! (Last chance at peacock eggs this year)

Want to see something cool I found? Let's make it blue. You're ready to be a dad, but you guys can let me do it. So

this

is the Egyptian. I look that way. It's quite pointed. Look at that peak. It has a slight cross peak. Did you notice that before being modeled as a Polish pouf you see your eyes apparently you even have a cookie right now in the main flock, I'm very excited to have more of these. This is the place to be a felder. The color is very complex and beautiful. it's the white sapphire from the cream lake bar they're kind of normal they have a little extra poof here on top of their head I don't know how

this

one sees that it's so pretty and this is our gold polish it has crazy looking ducks You're just over three now weeks and Bill we still have to work on naming these guys.

We have to go through and choose some names. Everyone liked your Captain Hook idea. Look at those guys. A big bear, we are here with the meat. birds, we have them in a little lane, they have been in one place for a little while, so we have to move on this morning, so as these coops are quite small, we keep them there at night, they have food. and water at night and then we open it up during the day and then we have them in a fencing area using this amazing premiere one fencing knot and it's been pretty amazing knock on wood we've gotten 31 and we still have 31 meat birds we didn't have Much success earlier this

year

when we lost a bunch we bought at the farm store.

All of these guys are growing very well. Let me show you the difference between Cornish crops, ginger chickens, and Delaware chickens. Here is our largest ginger roaster and our largest ginger roaster. Delaware broilers look a little different from the Cornish cross where they have black specks all over them and when we talk about sustainable beef breeds, these two are much closer to that than the Cornish cross. You'll see the Cornish Cross here in just a second, so the Cornish Cross is about the size of these two corners combined. The withers grows to full size in approximately seven to eight weeks.

They are about six weeks old right now, so that's one week. or two gingerbreads are supposed to

last

about the same period of time, they're not that big so they'll probably be a couple of weeks behind, but it's still pretty impressive for a red ranger type bird species to become so great as they forge it. Also looking great meat in the b

last

freezer with the Cornish cross and then a few weeks later we have the ginger boilers ready and then the Delaware broilers, possibly a sustainable meat breed on this farm which we will look at , so there are the three birds. we arrived from the mcmurray hatchery we will let you know how they are doing in a couple of weeks here when they are reaching full size this is rhonda the brahma and gertie the turkey you are in are you hiding from the guineas he has been collecting It's up to us though yes , this time may be limited here, your zebra, so we are preparing to raise Dolly again.

We don't have a bull here, of course, so we have to do ai, we have to do artificial insemination. We actually gave her a shot yesterday, it's not supposed to put her in heat, so later this week we will do the AI ​​with a company that is local to us, it won't affect the milk or milk production at all. give us some time to dry it from next February to March so we can have the breeding next April is this the dream of the farm oh yes so this area looks quite difficult we are here with the mandarin ducks the golden red pheasants the

peacock

s and then all our fancy chicks down here check out these chicken tractors over here ripped plastic basically in the winter we use clear plastic so the sun can come in to warm them up during the day in the summer we use this solid green tarp it stands up really well but then it gets really dark there, so it was half good and half, the plastic finally gave up and I need to get it out of here, so basically I'm going to have to remove these green tarps from the plastic.

I'll be removing and then putting the green tarps back up there so I'm going to mow the grass a little bit and clean those tarps from time to time while we need to do some maintenance here and today is that day I was moving the pheasant house . and someone took out an egg just as he was making it still wet. I guess I scared them enough to let an egg hatch, so today we were working in the garden and we came across our broccoli and cauliflower with all these green worms, so we thought we'd try feeding them to the chickens, we tried it with the chicks rooster, but they weren't interested, they just wanted to run away from us, so what are we going to try now?

A meat chick, the mate chicks, we think they are going to go. get hungrier and they're going to eat the worms oh she went straight to it do you want to pet him what's the name of this seen peck at you coming out I'm I'd like to show you trying to get over the vents, although can dad have a baby and lastly, but not least, let's clean up the

peacock

tractor, do you want to see something interesting that I found, let's do it, three peacock

eggs

, let me do it, okay Becky, well this is cool because these guys had stopped?

Last month we had a couple sitting around waiting to see if they would sit on them and we decided to put them in the incubator. Let me show you what's going on with those. Actually, we have two peacock

eggs

that are supposed to hatch in the next few days, we are going to veil them to show you what is going on here unfortunately, that is not really any development, so this egg is bad and the same here, non-fertile egg number two didn't develop, so the good thing is we have three more to try. with uh the peacock breeders have contacted me to inform me here that around a

year

and 10 months the peacocks will not have fertile eggs which actually need to be around two years or more but there is a

chance

of even a five percent.

It's worth seeing if we can get some blue and bell p-checks. Some of you started following our channel when we first incubated you almost two years ago. We got those eggs in August, so it was late in this season for the peacock and they hatched. mid-September, so waiting here mid-July, possibly we'll have some fertile eggs that will hatch mid-August, that would be great, eh, if we get some little white peacocks, eh, oh, yeah, well, any kind Peacock, yes, these guys are Indian blue, of various dark colors, that's their color. Some have asked when the blue will get its long tail.

You see his feathers right there. They are colorful, but not that really big tail that you are used to seeing on peacocks that will start. Next year is fine, so we will take these two eggs out of the incubator, they are ready and then we will move these three eggs and see if anything develops. We should see something if they are fertile. Oh, and another question. What we get quite often is why don't we let these guys be free range or at least give them a bigger area? A larger area that we are working on, that will be the aviary where they will be able to fly, they can move in a much larger area than Right now, as far as freedom, we are working on the fence along the front path and we don't want For these guys to hit the road, we don't want them to get too far away, we want some Offspring first, it takes a lot of time and patience for two years until these guys have offspring, so we just want to make sure we have some kind of backup before to risk letting these guys free and risk losing them to predators, hey, who's here?

Remember when we had a dance party for the peacocks to celebrate their birthday, that was a good time, blue, we have a big box to open, yeah, we had a spectator come up to us, he wanted to build us something cool, check this out. look at that, what do you think is amazing? Lindsay did it for us at Backwood Design Company. This is a piece of cherry tree that's over four feet long and then she uses some epoxy and other materials to make these really cool designs that look like waves here she did an amazing job creating a custom piece uh just for our house this it's so cool it looks like water here yeah i want to try it let's put it up do you like what we chose yeah cool well lindsay thanks make sure you check it out.

We have a link to her website in our description. We opened a lot more emails from you and just for the sake of time we will post how to open all that email. on our Instagram and Facebook but thank you all for all the things you send to our PO Box see you later bye after the video came out oh snap one more egg let's put it on thanks bloop I guess ought. thank you also right bill good night
