Well, there is a spot of good news. Since your first batch of peafowl had white "siblings", and these ones allegedly did as well, that means that all of your peafowl, including these new babies, are potentially heterozygous for the white gene, which is recessive. That means that any future pairings of any of your peafowl has a strong potential to produce white offspring. Genetics are awesome.
@Alexander Chen I used to breed fancy morph snakes, and learned a lot about genetics from doing that. The same basic principles apply to pretty much any animal's genetics.
Interestingly bird genetics is way different from mammals. The egg cell (from the female) determines the sex, which really takes some studying. So your basic biology class is not enough. Female is ZW and males are ZZ
I don’t think I realized how much you put into your egg hatching/raising ... buying eggs ... and hoping they get shipped ethically and honestly. You are all amazing people. I love that you continue to teach us as well as your lovely family. ❤️❤️ And can we get a Pip in your little mix of lovelies?
The hatching process is pure mystery and magic. Breathtaking. I'm so glad you included it. Now in the end, does that make 97 new feathered babies on the farm now? Sad about the scam. But it looks like you're making lemonade out of lemons as usual. That's your style.
These are honestly one of my favorite things to watch because you can watch the entire journey of the eggs in the incubator to hatched in one video. Keep it up, I can't wait for your next adventure in hatching.
In England, there's a place called Moonridge farm that has several white peafowl with their doves. The family and I go there often to watch them as well as get more animals.
The Splay Leg comes from them being on a slippery plastic floor when they hatch. They need some sort of bedding that will support their fragile legs during the first couple days. Hope this helps.
@@Itz_WeirdNimo you’re very right I don’t know what was wrong with me thinking it was OK for me to say those insults very childish of me but I am sorry for my child like reckless acts I’m going to delete it right now
Unfortunately for Jake, these are just indian blue peacocks. You would be able to see white spots, on the chin, flight feathers, if they would carry one white gêne. Same thing with pied, you would be able to see white patches.. Damn scammers ! On the brighter side, you will be able to get a better genetic peafowl pool, since blue and belle are probably siblings
You should tell Morgan over at Gold Shaw Farm about the straw brace for his gosling with the splayed leg, if you haven't already. That might be a good solution.
Unfortunately that gosling doesn't just have splay leg. It's so much smaller than the others, I feel like something much more serious is going on with it.
Yes, Jake and Morgan should connect. Morgan also got a Brinsea incubator and apparently is not quite working for him; maybe Jake could give him some pointers or hints to help him achieve a higher hatching rate.
In Peafowl the White mutation is dominant so only needs one copy to be expressed. However you can have single factor white and double factor white. So if these chicks grow to have white patches on their flight feathers they are single factor white. So one parents must have been a white, the other being a normal / something else. If both parents were white or are both sf white then you could produce double factor whites which is the pure white colouration. So hopefully these 2 chicks are sf whites in which case you could breed them together to produce you double factor whites, single factor whites and normals/ black shouldered
That is just not true.... white is a gene for total leucism and is a separate gene from pied. A bird with one white and one pied gene would turn out pied but you would not get pied from breeding a white to a white, or a white to a blue. You need one copy of white and one copy of pied to express the pied phenotype. White is also not dominant, it's recessive but bears the visual marker of white flights and a white throat latch, a marker it shares with split pied and dark pied birds.
You need to hatch peafowl on a hatching mat or foam. The only reason they have splayed legs is because they can't grip on the plastic trays when they hatch.
@@whitehouseonthehill I know they do but it's just not enough for peafowl. There feet are to big. I use 2 brinsea ovaeasy 180 and when I first hatched peafowl I had the same problem. I now hatch somewhere close to 100 peachicks in them everyear and rarely get splayed legs now with a rubber textured mat or foam mat. Just give it a go you have nothing to lose.
@Alyssa Anderson yes ugly, look at that ugly face, but I love it so much. His sweetness covers all. Looking forward To have an ugly, but Sweet emu, running and scaring people😟😱😩🤣
We here in India love peacocks cause its our national bird and also larger mention of the bird in our religion. Nothing beats peacock if you can catch a troupe around 4 pm, you can be sure to see a dance performance too. Coincidentally the population at most places is un-sustainably high. They are really killing the farmers. Enforcement against any harm to peacock is very very strong since the national bird. I sometimes think we must change our national bird every 5 years so that other vulnerable birds get protection and recover.
My dad would use a wooden box he made into a rectangle and put a basic house light fixture within. Put a 100 or 60 watt light bulb inside and drill a hole for light to escape only on top. Worked amazingly, loved your video ! Also he made his own incubator and I remember having X on one side of the egg and an O on the other. I think maybe twice daily you moved from x to o. A tray of water was under them and the humidity would rise. Little vents to adjust humidity. Was simplicity but was efficient! Good times
BEST Idea I've seen on splay leg with the straw and rubber band.. Thank you! We've had a few pheasant and quail hatched with this. I'd been using bandages cut in strips but hard to remove from their little legs. Really like this idea!
We live in Australia and breed Peafowl, we keep our blue Indian and our white Peafowl separated but for us the breeding season won’t start until September .

Peacock babies are bad about having splayed legs. We always make a contraption out of masking tape that has worked every time so far. We have regular India Blue, Chocolate, Black shoulder and Spauldings. Anyway, good luck finding some white ones. My daughter is much like your kids-She is animal crazy- We have over 150 babies of various birds in coops right now. Enjoy them while they're young (the kids, lol). It goes by in a hurry! Greetings from Texas!
@@Haytchtwoalt I'm aware of that. Most people think just because an animal is white that means it's albino. The original commenter made it sound like it could eventually become albino which can't happen
My husband grew up with peacocks on his property and his sister had them as well. They make excellent watch dogs. It was a little bit until they got used to me coming on the property. But anytime a stranger walked on the property, these birds would be in the trees and alarm the Bell. It was hilarious, it was just like the dinner bell. But they were peacocks, warning someone came on the property. I found that quite fascinating. They were extremely territorial. Quite protective of the family, and any strangers coming on the property.
No idea how you and peacocks popped up on my suggestions.... But I'm glad you did. Really interesting to watch! Had no idea people sold and bought peacock eggs and everything that goes along with it.
I have to agree with the genetic portion. Although one or both of the parents were white (we dont know if its even true), but looks like they lost the luck of the draw. Dominant and recessive genes.... like how 2 dark haired parents can put out a blonde, and the blonde ends up producing dark haired children.
I breed peafowl, and have done for over a decade, and I'm big into their genetics. White is a recessive gene for total leucism. If both parents are white, then all of their children absolutely would also display the white phenotype. They don't "carry" brown; the brown is the wild type phenotype, so it displays if the offspring don't have a matching pair of mutations; but a pair of white birds would ALWAYS donate the white gene from both sides and so the chicks would always be white. It was definitely a scam.
Great video, we used to do this with our kids, sooooo nice. Great job Jake, You’re an awesome dad, your kids will remember this for a lifetime, this is what our kids need. A DAD!!!!!! My kids loved star wars too… My oldest is a Lieutenant in the Army, one is a State trooper, and my daughter is a Senior in college, they grow up too fast, enjoy every minute!!!! You and you wife are great with those kids!!!!! Not to mention all the animals!!! Keep it up.
I’m so glad I found youre Chanel I remember watching a lot of youre videos in 2018 and when I got a new phone I forgot my old UA-cam login and I forgot the name of the Chanel but now that I found youre channel again I can finally catch up on you’re videos!
Wish I had known you had wanted White Peacocks. My Papa had asked us if we wanted a few eggs from there neighbors white pea foul last year. We turned them down cause no land right now. But I would have given them your address and told them to send them your way to hatch. :(
I’m so glad you got Narragansett turkeys. Definitely one of the prettiest breeds but you have to be careful. Due to almost going extinct in the ‘90s the Narragansett had only 9 breeding pairs left (some statistics state more or less but this is most common I find) with only 9 breeding pairs you can understand that the genetic pool is very small. Since they have poorer genetics. The Narragansett, Royal palm. And other rarer breeds of turkeys suffer from aggression. You will know if you have a naturally aggressive bird by about 7 months old. You can spend every day playing, bonding with ect. But a aggressive bird will always turn. About 60% or better of the Narragansett toms I have ever raised have turned out aggressive. To this day I haven’t found out how to stop the aggression
When I was around 10 years old, our uncle had peahen and peacock as a ‘pet’ or I’m pretty sure he was looking after them for some period for his brother. I cant believe I was so lucky to see a white peahen and didn’t even realize how rare they were at the time. There was also a park near our house that also had one white peahen and many of the multiple colored peacocks. This was in Pakistan.
Hi Jake. Last year I bought a dozen bobwhite quail eggs off Ebay. I was really excited as I had never tried hatching any of this breed and I was wanting to get some more valuable varieties. However when they came four were badly cracked and they were all dirty. I discarded the damaged eggs and of the eight only one hatched. It refused to eat and died not long afterwards. Just thought I'd share my experience.
Wow! This is one of the first ever videos I have watched on your channel if not the first, I picked a good one to watch! Amazing video I think you more than deserve a new subscriber!
Dadgumit my nieces & nephews are in college now. I wish they'd had these science kits when they were little. They're really awesome v& I really want to try them out. But it's just a lot more fun with kids that are so eager to learn. Thanks for showing yours with the kits. I know it was a sponsor but it's just nice to see a family having fun together.
I started watching your channel because i was so interested on starting a farm myself, You have inspired me. But I'm too young to do this, but You are a great inspiration and I hope you find White Peacock Eggs. (This comment was made with much love)
I live in Southern California. I grew up in the Palos Verdes area that is filled with wild peacocks. They are so beautiful and majestic. They’ve lived there so long they have a good relationship with people. A friend of mine tamed a male over spring break one year. He would follow her around the neighborhood.
I incubate quail. Putting in drawer liner on the hatching tray helped, I also make a hobble with vet wrap (self adhesive). It’s another great option. (Make sure you get the animal kind, human is 2-3x the cost and the exact same thing). Curled toes I put tiny piece of thin cardboard, like a cereal box, then put painted a tape on bottom and top so it looks like a boot. I have been able to fix every case of both things this way.
Awesome video! I love watching egg videos and seeing all the amazing animals you have on the farm. Regardless of if you were scammed, you ended up with some beautiful peahens and some beautiful turkeys!
That's awesome! The boys really enjoyed this set from MEL Science. The link might not have been working earlier in case you needed it: melscience.com/s0Z
I loved this video! I guess on the up side you get to experience the peacocks as a different color and see if you like the way they look, and then when you get the white on you know what to expect.
I didn't know white peacocks were that rare I live in Florida and we got white and blue peacocks tooting around everywhere. They're actually considered a nuisance.
One observation - unless both parents carry "true" albino gene, you will not get a pure white peacock.... even if you buy a pair of pure white peacocks, there is a good chance that they will give out pieds... anyways... your chicks will be a good color... hope they are hens and your blue would yield good results with them....
There has been no documented albino peafowl yet.... white is a leucistic mutation in peafowl, and ONLY a leucistic mutation. If you breed two whites, you will 100% get whites. The only way you would get pied is if you're breeding pied together (which would produce 25% white, 50% pied, and 25% "dark" pied which is a bird with 2 copies of pied), or breeding white to dark pied, since the pied phenotype is a bird het for white and het for pied together.
@@sskmaestro An albino gene would need to mutate fresh since we have no albino mutation yet, so it could come from any pairing. It isn't impossible, but it's VERY unlikely. Humans have been breeding them for a very long time and there's been no documented albinos, just leucistics.
Be careful about paying and not receiving the stuff past the date they allow a refund. Ppl will use more reliable companies like PayPal that make ppl feel safe to send money but then wait past the refund date to send out stuff so that u can't correct anything... so please b careful out there about the timing.
Splayed legs can be a result of many things...lack of room in egg, genetics, nutrition and in addition slippery mat..however this slippery mat condition is normally found in breeder box conditions of parrot breeds etc. Great video showing process!
I feel blessed watching your videos. This is the dream that I have dreamt every now and then to live life happily without being disturbed by anyone. Love you guys for taking care all these birds and animals. Not everyone is blessed with this type of nature with animals. Keep up the good work. Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳. Am curious to see your fourth baby😘😘😘
Putting a non slip surface in the incubator at hatch will help splay leg. Splay leg happens right after hatch in the incubator. Micro fiber fabrics or cabinet matts/matting will do the trick!
We have them running rampant for years at our zoo. They even leave the zoo, walk right out, but return each day. I could talk the zoo into getting some fresh eggs! Years ago, they even gave me a few, but I think they weren't fresh enough to incubate. That, and I had no idea how to do it. lol. But, I can't ask them. The next time I go there, I'll take a pic of them and email them to you. I'm in Roswell, New Mexico. I wonder if those peafowl will at least carry white. If 2 recessive genes are together, you'll get that trait.
It's always difficult buying online. I try to look for poultry shows and talk to breeders there. They tend to know other people who breed special breed birds.
Ugh that's frustrating! Seems to be that way in any business though, risk and disappointment are there somewhere. We have some of our own at the moment!
We had flight cages when our kids were young. We had a Java green peacock. Silver, Red Golden, and Impean pheasants. The Impean are beautiful. We also had Mandarin and Wood ducks. We had an incubator and hatched lots of eggs. The Quails were awesome. They looked like bees with tiny legs, very small, but they ran really fast!! Lots of pets inside as well. Snakes, lizards, red eyed tree frogs (my favs), salt and fresh water aquariums, hedgehog and flying squirrel. We were known as the local Zoo.
Surely we would have loved white peacocks; they are so amazing! But, all peacocks are beautiful and fun to watch. It kind of bites because if the money and your disappointment after all that work. We the viewers didn't have to wait for weeks anticipating white peafowl. I love how you wait for the hatch to put out the video.
I live in Oregon and I don’t know about Missouri but turkeys are native so we get to see the babies during breeding season and they are so stinking cute
We used to go camping at Casa de Fruta in California. Their peacocks roamed the campgrounds. They had green and white birds as well as mixed green and white. I saw on the internet there is a red variety. That would be gorgeous with either green or white.
Hi there, in the area where I live (Waikato, NZ) peacock live in the wild and are considered a pest. Farmers often will shoot them. White ones are relatively common amongst the wild flocks. Hey, good luck with everything. X
@@whitehouseonthehill that's fantastic! I know fencing is hard to come by and pricy, so hearing that you've made progress on it is encouraging. I'm really enthusiastic about this project.
@@whitehouseonthehill *it must be fun too! watching all those animals grow up and interacting with them, surprises or disappointment. it really helps that there are farmers like you around!*
There's actually a more interesting colour of peacock that I only decovered recently and it's where they're part white part normally (blue) it's so beautiful though I don't know how it works
Those are pied peafowl! A visually pied peafowl has one copy of the white gene and one copy of the pied gene. A bird with 2 copies of pied is referred to as a dark pied, and 2 copies of white is, obviously, a white.
They are adorable! Congratulations on a great hatch! I'm sorry they aren't what you purchased though. That is pretty disappointing. White peafowl are beautiful, I hope you're able to find some.
Ohhhh those little guys need some calcium and niacin. I find squishing up some mealworms and peas and letting them go to town helps out with splay immensely. Had a bit of a sad hatch myself last week. Ironically two of my duckling turned out to be albino, but they didn't make to hatch. Another two were deformed, they actually made it to hatch but died shortly thereafter. I have three little ladies now though, so I'm just gonna dote on them. Other than that, I don't know if I'd say this was a scam so much as a gamble. It looks like they'll be buff pied (a mottled coloring) so THEY might go on the create white chicks together because, well, inbreeding...BUT, I do hope you better luck in the future in getting white pea-fowl on the farm.
The facility I work with has white peacock and our white pea chicks are the yellow color of chicks when they first hatch out and then are solid white within a week. Our pied are much the same except they’ll have streaks of dark coloration.
There is a guy that had white pfoul in Neosho. He had them 2 years ago & I found him on a backroads drive as I used to like to do before fuel went up. He said he was listed as a small hatchery & on Google maps.

Thank you!
I’m so glad I found youre Chanel I remember watching a lot of youre videos in 2018 and when I got a new phone I forgot my old UA-cam login and I forgot the name of the Chanel but now that I found youre channel again I can finally catch up on you’re videos!
Wish I had known you had wanted White Peacocks. My Papa had asked us if we wanted a few eggs from there neighbors white pea foul last year. We turned them down cause no land right now. But I would have given them your address and told them to send them your way to hatch. :(
I’m so glad you got Narragansett turkeys. Definitely one of the prettiest breeds but you have to be careful. Due to almost going extinct in the ‘90s the Narragansett had only 9 breeding pairs left (some statistics state more or less but this is most common I find) with only 9 breeding pairs you can understand that the genetic pool is very small. Since they have poorer genetics. The Narragansett, Royal palm. And other rarer breeds of turkeys suffer from aggression. You will know if you have a naturally aggressive bird by about 7 months old. You can spend every day playing, bonding with ect. But a aggressive bird will always turn. About 60% or better of the Narragansett toms I have ever raised have turned out aggressive. To this day I haven’t found out how to stop the aggression
When I was around 10 years old, our uncle had peahen and peacock as a ‘pet’ or I’m pretty sure he was looking after them for some period for his brother. I cant believe I was so lucky to see a white peahen and didn’t even realize how rare they were at the time. There was also a park near our house that also had one white peahen and many of the multiple colored peacocks. This was in Pakistan.
Hi Jake. Last year I bought a dozen bobwhite quail eggs off Ebay. I was really excited as I had never tried hatching any of this breed and I was wanting to get some more valuable varieties. However when they came four were badly cracked and they were all dirty. I discarded the damaged eggs and of the eight only one hatched. It refused to eat and died not long afterwards. Just thought I'd share my experience.
One of the best ads I’ve seen on youtube, the Mel science product was just amazing too so that helped
Glad to hear it, thank you!
It’s really good that you share all the aspects of what you do.
Thank you, Darlou!
I've been watching you guys for like 2 and half years.
Your videos always comfort me.❤️
Road to 1mil
Thank you!
Wow! This is one of the first ever videos I have watched on your channel if not the first, I picked a good one to watch! Amazing video I think you more than deserve a new subscriber!
Thank you very much! We appreciate it
White peacocks are so gorgeous.
ぬぉ(●´ω｀●)
Dadgumit my nieces & nephews are in college now. I wish they'd had these science kits when they were little. They're really awesome v& I really want to try them out. But it's just a lot more fun with kids that are so eager to learn.
Thanks for showing yours with the kits. I know it was a sponsor but it's just nice to see a family having fun together.
I’m here in Uk, I’ve had quail and Pekin bantams in my garden.. I just love your set up, really enjoyed your video and I’m subscribing!
Awesome! Thank you!
I started watching your channel because i was so interested on starting a farm myself, You have inspired me. But I'm too young to do this, but You are a great inspiration and I hope you find White Peacock Eggs. (This comment was made with much love)
Those little turkeys melted my heart they're adorable.
I live in Southern California. I grew up in the Palos Verdes area that is filled with wild peacocks. They are so beautiful and majestic. They’ve lived there so long they have a good relationship with people.
A friend of mine tamed a male over spring break one year. He would follow her around the neighborhood.
Yoda looks like he might be pied
I love the subtitles for the little guy! Lol sometimes only Mom and Dad can interpret. So cute!
😀
I love how the second pea pushed the first around! Congratulations!!!
Thanks, Cynthia!
I incubate quail. Putting in drawer liner on the hatching tray helped, I also make a hobble with vet wrap (self adhesive). It’s another great option. (Make sure you get the animal kind, human is 2-3x the cost and the exact same thing). Curled toes I put tiny piece of thin cardboard, like a cereal box, then put painted a tape on bottom and top so it looks like a boot. I have been able to fix every case of both things this way.
Awesome video! I love watching egg videos and seeing all the amazing animals you have on the farm. Regardless of if you were scammed, you ended up with some beautiful peahens and some beautiful turkeys!
Thank you, Temari!
Thoose peachicks are so lucky to have a owner like you to take care of them I don’t even know how to take care of a peachick❤️😭😭😭
I'm 21 studying to be a midwife and I'm still going to go buy myself child science experiments 😂 science never stops being cool
That's awesome! The boys really enjoyed this set from MEL Science. The link might not have been working earlier in case you needed it: melscience.com/s0Z
I loved this video! I guess on the up side you get to experience the peacocks as a different color and see if you like the way they look, and then when you get the white on you know what to expect.
Disappointing they did not end up being white but it will be interesting to see what colour form they end up being.
What's up with u racists. Why does it matter what colour they are?!
I've bought my nephews some of the Mel Science projects they love them and it was great to buy when they missed so much school from Covid.
I didn't know white peacocks were that rare I live in Florida and we got white and blue peacocks tooting around everywhere. They're actually considered a nuisance.
Wow
Cap.
It's sad you didn't get the white pea fowl you ordered, but it'll still be interesting to see how the ones you got turn out.
One observation - unless both parents carry "true" albino gene, you will not get a pure white peacock.... even if you buy a pair of pure white peacocks, there is a good chance that they will give out pieds... anyways... your chicks will be a good color... hope they are hens and your blue would yield good results with them....
There has been no documented albino peafowl yet.... white is a leucistic mutation in peafowl, and ONLY a leucistic mutation. If you breed two whites, you will 100% get whites. The only way you would get pied is if you're breeding pied together (which would produce 25% white, 50% pied, and 25% "dark" pied which is a bird with 2 copies of pied), or breeding white to dark pied, since the pied phenotype is a bird het for white and het for pied together.
@@KedreevaWhitemane thanks for the info.... looks like the best way to reproduce an albino is get a pair of white peacocks and start breeding program!
@@sskmaestro An albino gene would need to mutate fresh since we have no albino mutation yet, so it could come from any pairing. It isn't impossible, but it's VERY unlikely. Humans have been breeding them for a very long time and there's been no documented albinos, just leucistics.
@@KedreevaWhitemane Same for horses
A white peafowl is not the same as an albino.
I am loving these videos that are posted more frequently. Keep up the amazing work, and I'm sorry about the peafowl not being what you hoped.
Thank you, Brooke
Be careful about paying and not receiving the stuff past the date they allow a refund. Ppl will use more reliable companies like PayPal that make ppl feel safe to send money but then wait past the refund date to send out stuff so that u can't correct anything... so please b careful out there about the timing.
eBay worked with us on the situation.
Splayed legs can be a result of many things...lack of room in egg, genetics, nutrition and in addition slippery mat..however this slippery mat condition is normally found in breeder box conditions of parrot breeds etc. Great video showing process!
I feel blessed watching your videos. This is the dream that I have dreamt every now and then to live life happily without being disturbed by anyone. Love you guys for taking care all these birds and animals. Not everyone is blessed with this type of nature with animals. Keep up the good work. Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳. Am curious to see your fourth baby😘😘😘
Thank you very much for the support
Putting a non slip surface in the incubator at hatch will help splay leg. Splay leg happens right after hatch in the incubator. Micro fiber fabrics or cabinet matts/matting will do the trick!
We have them running rampant for years at our zoo. They even leave the zoo, walk right out, but return each day. I could talk the zoo into getting some fresh eggs! Years ago, they even gave me a few, but I think they weren't fresh enough to incubate. That, and I had no idea how to do it. lol. But, I can't ask them. The next time I go there, I'll take a pic of them and email them to you. I'm in Roswell, New Mexico. I wonder if those peafowl will at least carry white. If 2 recessive genes are together, you'll get that trait.
I’m in my 4th lockdown due to COVID and I’m so grateful for your videos because this is what makes me happy right now ❤️
Those turkeys are my favorite type of turkeys ever, congrats, I just had my last of 12 wood ducks die today, I’m happy you guys have the success
Oh I'm sad for your loss
Ahh, I’m sorry about your ducks.
It's always difficult buying online. I try to look for poultry shows and talk to breeders there. They tend to know other people who breed special breed birds.
Love it. Thanks again for not letting us wait
You're welcome!
Ugh that's frustrating! Seems to be that way in any business though, risk and disappointment are there somewhere. We have some of our own at the moment!
I’m in love with peacocks! 🦚 I hope I can get some when I get older and get my own farm. I love animals so much.
We had flight cages when our kids were young. We had a Java green peacock. Silver, Red Golden, and Impean pheasants. The Impean are beautiful. We also had Mandarin and Wood ducks. We had an incubator and hatched lots of eggs. The Quails were awesome. They looked like bees with tiny legs, very small, but they ran really fast!! Lots of pets inside as well. Snakes, lizards, red eyed tree frogs (my favs), salt and fresh water aquariums, hedgehog and flying squirrel. We were known as the local Zoo.
Surely we would have loved white peacocks; they are so amazing! But, all peacocks are beautiful and fun to watch. It kind of bites because if the money and your disappointment after all that work. We the viewers didn't have to wait for weeks anticipating white peafowl. I love how you wait for the hatch to put out the video.
Thank you, Jessica... yes, it was bittersweet since we didn’t get what we were hoping for but we ended up with some really beautiful peachicks.
Where has this channel been all my life ! Your videos are really interesting, informative and just awesome 👍
You might want to look up Campbell Farm and Hatchery, they just recently hatched out some white peafowl. They probably have some eggs to sell as well.
I live in Oregon and I don’t know about Missouri but turkeys are native so we get to see the babies during breeding season and they are so stinking cute
Im sorry that you got scammed, but i love when you guys make videos on hatching!!😁😁❤
We used to go camping at Casa de Fruta in California. Their peacocks roamed the campgrounds. They had green and white birds as well as mixed green and white. I saw on the internet there is a red variety. That would be gorgeous with either green or white.
The video hasn't even been out for 2 minutes yet and there's comments of people saying they love the video 😅😂
Cause they are big fans and they like all there videos.
Love them too, still funny though
Hi there, in the area where I live (Waikato, NZ) peacock live in the wild and are considered a pest. Farmers often will shoot them. White ones are relatively common amongst the wild flocks. Hey, good luck with everything. X
i'm so excited for the aviary get done, have news about?
Working towards getting the fencing in the next 1-2 months.
@@whitehouseonthehill that's fantastic! I know fencing is hard to come by and pricy, so hearing that you've made progress on it is encouraging. I'm really enthusiastic about this project.
I love that you post the videos when they have already hatched 🐣 because I am so impatient and I really love that you do this
I like this sponsor, not my age groupe but nice to see the kids play😁
😀
*you must be very busy every day - thank you for uploading as much as you can! I love to see a farmer at work with animals because I love animals 😊*
So nice of you
@@whitehouseonthehill *it must be fun too! watching all those animals grow up and interacting with them, surprises or disappointment. it really helps that there are farmers like you around!*
I am from India and I love the Indian peacocks and unfortunately it is illegal to raise peacock here😭. You guys are so lucky
I look forward to your videos so much. I love seeing all the babies and what you guys do to keep busy. Super cool
Thank you, we appreciate it!
There's actually a more interesting colour of peacock that I only decovered recently and it's where they're part white part normally (blue) it's so beautiful though I don't know how it works
I'm pretty sure that's pied peacocks
Sounds like Leucistic peacocks which are commonly referred to as Pied peacocks.
youre either thinking of pied or split white.
Those are pied peafowl! A visually pied peafowl has one copy of the white gene and one copy of the pied gene. A bird with 2 copies of pied is referred to as a dark pied, and 2 copies of white is, obviously, a white.
@@KedreevaWhitemane oh! I was wondering how it happened.
Fantastic ! Amazing seeing them hatch and Wishing all the hatchlings a healthy life. You guys rock !
Thank you very much
So the splayed leg thing is RICKETTS and you need to be giving them liquid calcium in their water.
That's not correct calcium never hurts but it's not tickets please check poultry disease book
Sorry...rickets auto correct at its finest
Sorry you were disappointed with this hatching. But also grateful you share the good and bad with us. Were all rooting for your success!
I appreciate that!
They are adorable! Congratulations on a great hatch! I'm sorry they aren't what you purchased though. That is pretty disappointing. White peafowl are beautiful, I hope you're able to find some.
Thanks, Jei ❤️
Man I haven’t seen this channel in a loooong time I completely forgot about it but man I missed it never failed to fascinate me
Ohhhh those little guys need some calcium and niacin. I find squishing up some mealworms and peas and letting them go to town helps out with splay immensely.
Had a bit of a sad hatch myself last week. Ironically two of my duckling turned out to be albino, but they didn't make to hatch. Another two were deformed, they actually made it to hatch but died shortly thereafter. I have three little ladies now though, so I'm just gonna dote on them.
Other than that, I don't know if I'd say this was a scam so much as a gamble. It looks like they'll be buff pied (a mottled coloring) so THEY might go on the create white chicks together because, well, inbreeding...BUT, I do hope you better luck in the future in getting white pea-fowl on the farm.
Thanks for the suggestion
The facility I work with has white peacock and our white pea chicks are the yellow color of chicks when they first hatch out and then are solid white within a week. Our pied are much the same except they’ll have streaks of dark coloration.
Started following you when you hatched them last time
We appreciate it 👏
There is a guy that had white pfoul in Neosho. He had them 2 years ago & I found him on a backroads drive as I used to like to do before fuel went up. He said he was listed as a small hatchery & on Google maps.
I looked myself just now to see of I could find them. I believe they were Diamond D Farm at 13035 Hereford Road, Neosho, MO. (417) 658-2513
I think you must give it a second shot and be absolutely curtain that it is from a white peafowl🤔👌
Love seeing the little boys eyes as you work
