Hatching Rare White Peacocks Didn’t Go as Planned *YEAR 3* 

I raised two peafowl (peacock and peahen) you'll need to keep the peafowl off of the ground as there can also be diseases that other fowl can't catch, but they can. Keep them off the ground for 6 months, there's also some things you can add to their water to give them an even better chance, but mainly just keep them off the ground! Hope it helps in the third try!

I can't explain why but the pied baby is to DIE for. He's SO cute. Congrats on getting some soft puffy babies to hatch!!

So trilled 4 pea chicks have made it this far. Praying for these tiny baby pea chicks. We have to put these chicks in The Lord’s hands! Prayers ❤❤✝️🙏🏼

I hope all the pea chicks grow up healthy and strong, and that they get to have a wonderful life in that awesome aviary!!!

Another thing u can do for any foul. Get a shallow pan a litter pan works great. Fill half full with diatomatious earth. Set in coops or pens. Theyll do the rest with a dust bath. They love it. And they carry it into the nest boxes and coops too.

It was so cute to see Isaiah help feeding & milking the cow. He also seems very interested in what’s happening in-&-out of the incubator. Uriah has always been intrigued by the happenings on the farm but as he gets older he wants to be more involved. Hope everyone is doing well. Cheers, Doc❤

It has been a mountain to climb to say the least. 🙏🏽🙏🏻🙏🏼 Happy father's day

Peacock have to be very protected for the frist 6 mounts not touching the soil at all and I feed them with some boiled egg and raw carrots, unions and some other greens that have alot of vitamins. Very good luck

I’ve been watching your channel since 2018, and it’s amazing how much your farm has grown over the years (especially your new land you bought back in 2019! It feels like just yesterday!). This is my #1 RU-vid channel that I always watch. Keep up the great work guys!

Glad to see you and your family excel. So exciting to see your journey. Thank you for sharing such entertaining and education content!

3:24 Never bathe a broody hen. We here use bathing to end the broodiness of a hen. So definitely not a good idea to do that just before giving her the eggs.

One of my favourite farming families on youtube...thank you ❤️

No doubt about it, we WILL have peahens in the aviary when it's finished, been watching Jake, Becky and the kids for a few years, I have faith in you Jake 👍👍

With you being so worried about the getting something, why bring them outside just for the content? It only takes a second for creepy crawlers to crawl onto them.

I've got 8 peafowl eggs hatching in 7 days. We shall see. Peafowl are like Ratites in that they are super fragile and prone to high death rates until they are a few months old. Plus they only lay once a year. Much more involved and difficult than the chickens.

Heyy Jake. I raise peacocks and I struggle my first year too but I recommend to keep them in the brooder until they are at least 3-4 months old and constantly be cleaning their area and I wouldn’t recommend to put flakes on the bottom they are known to eat them. I will put some hay and keep them on probiotics in there water to keep them healthy

We have fixed the curled toe issue with 2 chicks, both much worse than this one. One we bought not knowing it had a problem the other was given to us because the breader had heard we had fixed the problem before. One was a Cochin the other dorking. Because we didn't bread either of them we received them and started treatment at 4 weeks. My husband did the treatment. He made a custom boot for the effected feet or foot and attached it with elasterplast, which is like a fabric bandaid. He would than do phyo on the toes to encourage correct movement every day. He would remove the boot every second day and make adjustments or a new boot as the foot grew. Both chicks ended up walking normally, the toes never looked exactly normal but the improvement was great and it allowed them to have a normal life the the flock. Good luck with your chickies.

Oh so another great thing to do is use ivermectin pour on for cattle you can do like 3 drops pure birds, it will treat up to a year.

I still remember when Isaiah was born, time flies, he has grown so much, it's like seeing one of my nephews grow, this channel is so inspiring and we can't help grow attached to your family. please keep us updated in the future, I hope your farm and your channel will keep growing.

Woo Hoo! Way to go, White House family! Can't wait to see them full grown. ❤️

you should name the pied peachick piper, you know, like the pied piper? XD I wish ya'll the best of luck getting them to adulthood. :3

Hey quick trick for you birds, cats, and dogs. Life saver btw saved my dog from worms. But adding a splash of applecider vinegar to their water and it'll help with mites and ticks and fleas.

Hopefully they stay healthy and will grow up to be beautiful! Have a great day!

SOOO exciting!!! 😮 Wishing you the best of luck this year... I'm hoping the pied chick is male and has some pretty colors to go with that white. 😁

It would be awesome if they named the pied one Piper, that would be so cute🥰

@whitehouseonthehill I have been taking care of peacocks for lots of years, and i do have to say that chickens are not the best to use when taking care of peachicks. (I originally found your channel when looking through yt one day and saw your constant posts about peacocks.) Worms give peacocks diseases, and what i saw is that the same reactions seemed to be happening (as per blackheads disease) the best way to keep them from dying is havung a peacoxks parent, giving them earwigs or beetles (junebugs, japanese beetles) Peachicks are able to die of stress if left alone too long. Peacocks are a type if bird that usually hatch a day before schedule, and siblings are much needed. (Peachicks can fly within a week or 2.) Alas, i hope you found this post helpful, or do find this post at all, and if you have any further questions just reply and i can give you my e-mail and i can guide you through the steps and care needed for the peachicks

Hoping and praying this is the year it works out! I love pied peafowl, so hoping all the babies hang in there!

Peachicks r def hard to raise. I have my pair that should start laying in a yr or 2. My breeder always told me to keep them off the ground for the first yr. And keep an eye out for gape worm. That took out 2 of my older hens. I LOVE Pied peafowl. They r sooooo beautiful!

So happy for you with the four! Can't wait to watch them grow. I think the pied will be pretty. We had pied whitetail deer at the family adventure park we work at. Very pretty!

If the Pied peachick survives, you should call it Pied Piper! Or Piper for short

Happy Father’s Day! I found your page while in early stages of my pregnancy last year and now my little boy is almost 1! Your children have grown so much since I started watching! It’s wild!

This is the way kids really learn! So cool!

I'd be careful. Parasites can be transferred by dirty hands. I'd wash up before handling them and scrub any enclosure well before moving them. 💖🌞🌵😷

By the way dipping a brody hen in water has a 80% possibility to make her stop wanting to hatch eggs . I know that cuse my granmother does it

I just finished my 7th batch of chicks in a 16 egg, budget Amazon incubator and I have learned a lot about the process. I am ashamed to say that I killed several baby chicks because I opened the incubator during lock down so my friend's little girl could see the chickens hatch! 😭😫 3 looked shrink wrapped by the membrane, 9 others hatched...I am so mad at myself! My chickens lay such big eggs that I can only put 12 or 14 in at a time and every other time I have gotten between 7 and 11 to hatch and never had any get shrink wrapped. The other times, I set it up and the only time I opened it was on lock down day...I have learned my lesson...the hard way.

I love your vlog style, it really inspires me to start a life in the countryside😍

Congratulations!!! 3 years is a long time to work on the white peacocks. So glad that you never gave up. Did you ever apologize for blaming the vet for the wing break?

i hope these peachicks survive all the way into adulthood to fly free in the aviary

You are tenacious, yet flexible. I admire your determination to keep experimenting until you find what works for you. My experience with peafowl is limited, but they were always like turkey poults, once you got them to about six months old, you can't get rid of them! lol Best of luck! R

you can add a zebra finches in your aviary it's fun to watch them

Here hoping every think goes well with the chicks.....Y'all are such a caring Family....God Bless y'all ❣🙏✝....THANK YOU.... 👍 Old Shoe 🇺🇸

Hey jake! I’ve got some Muscovy ducklings for you! They are black and chocolate. You should get some babies!

sending blessing to the peachicks they may grow healthy and beautiful

Glad that U did not give up on hatching p-chicks. They R so very cute. Thanks 4 sharing and thanks 4 all your RU-vid video adventures. Cheers !! 😎😎 🐤🐥🐣🐤🐥🐣🐤🐥🐣🐤🐣

I love when the pea chicks wings start coming in, they look so cute!

Hopefully, they all will grow up to be healthy birds!!! Wish we could swim in our pond, we don't. We have water mocassins, they can be aggressive.

This is my idea of heaven. I wonder how you manage to run a small farm and still make enough money to survive and pay for all the farm upkeep because I would be all over this.

Happy Father’s Day❤

4th year is the charm ❤ hope this year these peachicks grow up to be beautiful birds

God Bless Your family and fur and feathered family as well. I've been following for several years now. I'm so happy for y'all that you got some white pea chicks to hatch. I hope that last egg under the hen hatches for you. Hopefully she mother's it well. Especially since she wasn't consistent with sitting. I wish you successful pea chick raising this year. Love your videos.

Hope they all live this time around 🙏🏾🙌🏾

As for the twisted may be a nutritional deficincy (riboflavin) in particular so you could administer it

You should keep the chicks together. The chirp from the hached chicks encourage the others to brake out ☺

Love little Bella’s soothers! So funny! Great job on the pea fowl!

Man i can’t believe I’ve been watching for so long already. I’ve watched all your white peachick videos!

I was so worried about you guys,I heard horrible weather was headed your way,so glad it missed you guys😁👍

Good luck with your peachicks . I know how hard peafowl are to raise

The piebald one could be the prettiest of them all~ May they all grow up big and strong!

Omg I’m so excited, I have been waiting for this vid for so long! I hope the chicks survive, good luck! 😉

Masking tape can also work well in helping keep toes in place. I know we use it to help set feet and toes at the wildlife center I work at, and is a bit more durable than bandaids, especially if it persists when the chicks get a bit older

For songbirds with foot problems, I make a “boot” out of cardboard and tape their toes to it. I cut the cardboard to match the toes btw.

Happy Fathers Day Jake! When I was in Texas, staying at a hotel near Austin, I kept hearing what I thought were cats meowing outside our window, in the parking lot. Turned out to be 6 peacocks. (They’d roam from the nearby farm) Never realized how closely their calls are to cats until then 😂 Lots of luck with these ones! Looking forward to seeing them in the aviary! Any estimate on when it’ll be ready for them? Been watching for so many years now, I can’t wait! 🎉

Can you use food grade diatomaceous earth on the ground to help with the lice?

Awesome results 🤩 Always so much going on at White House on the Hill ❤

It's nice to see the younger boy helping mom out and you can see he is really is interested in helping and learning how to do thingss soon he will be doing Jakes Job. I can't wait to see the out come in the future with the birds growing up and the kids as well it's nice to see the family growing up and to see the farm developing as time goes by.

I have hatched chicken eggs 5 days short of hatching in my slow cooker they all hatched. Cheers from Joy from Australia

👏🏽 Yup peafowl are extremely susceptible to coccidiosis. Their mortality rate is better when they are raised off the ground.

Kids raised well with the nature 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hopefully this time it goes well for you! Wishing you for good luck ❤

Looks like you are having fly problems with the cows again this year. Have you considered getting a bunch of dung beetles for that field? Or doing what Morgan Gold of Goldshaw Farms did and wrap a couple garbage cans in fly paper to keep them in check?

Congrats!!! You're doing great so far.

Yay! I hope everything works out this time for you! ❤💜❤💜

omg a pied one ! they are soo soo beautifull !!! amazing !! i hope they grow healty and strong !

How about you use blue and bell so the same species of birds can hatch the same type of egg that they came from!💕

U got it this time in life every one wants to give up on some thing speshal to them and this video just proves what can happen if u keep going and never giv up love you guys 100% lovely family ❤

Hope they stay healthy I have a white peafowl and he is gorgeous

I hope you keep the pied one, I love how unique each one is.

Sitting here watching y'all's videos, I thought to myself what is my favorite channel........drum roll please! White House on the Hill!!!! Y'all's videos and children make me happy and feel good! 🙏🕊️🌹♥️

A mesh floor or thin carpet would be better, birds aren't particularly bright and if the chicks eat the pine shavings they hold no nutritional value. With pheasants Guinneas and chickens I wouldn't worry about it so much, but because peafowl are a bit larger you may have to look out for it. I hope this helps you guys, you're great and you deserve it!

I am praying for the best for your white peafowl chicks … I know you’ve worked very hard as this process and you all deserve to have this be a success. I’m glad you were able to get the three checks that you have now and just praying that they make it to adulthood. I sure love your channel and I love the enthusiasm of the boys as a help you with all the animals😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

You guys are my favorite RU-vidr❤❤❤

I put food grade diatomaceous earth in my chickens food and in their coop and haven’t had issues. Wish I could have a peacock I love white peacocks

I had a batch that had a lot of splay legs and was told it it was from the slick floor on the bottom of my brooder so I put puppy pads down for the first week. Worked like a charm, no more splay legs

omg i havent seen your videos in years!!

I’ve had the most success raising the peachicks on wire. Maybe try it?

In any chickens, if the body temperature falls below 40 degrees, then the immunity weakens and they start to get sick, so you need to keep them for 2.5-3 months in a dry aviary, where there is no wet grass ..

Get a water fountain it will help with the Algi in the pond!

Praying 🙏!! ❤️ Happy 😄 Father's Day!! 🥳🥳 ❤️

You should dust the ground and boxes for mites/lice too

I have been watching your lives since you got Bamboo's egg and hatched it out and I always look forward to your videos.

Moving broody hens at night seems to work best for me. I would have just dusted the red hen with sevin dust instead of dipping her. Old timers used to dunk hens in coke water to break them from being broody. Just a suggestion.

Saludo de Puerto Rico. Me encanta esos animales todo son precioso. Tiene una familia maravilloso bien bonita. Muchas Bendiciones todas su familia.

Hopeful all goes well for you this year round.! You learn more each time.. . Best of luck!

The one with the white and brown is so cute

We need update of them 😊😊

Winger will be remembered by all of us

The incubator had probably high temperature, you may have to recheck it. That's why they came out early out of the egg and have curled toes

Can’t wait to see!!!

Wow I'm in the begging and wow can't wait!

So happy for you and I'm sure once the aviary's complete the future chicks will have a great survival rate
