While on vacation in Florida about 7 years ago...we saw some peafowl...all India Blue in color...well...my wife wanted to try and raise some...we have had good and back luck over the years...our first hen laid but never hatched...died...then the second hen turned out to be a male...and two of our adult India Blue males died...so over the last few years our single pea hen has finally hatched and raised 2 male's...the White being the "dad"...this is her third time setting...with the first batch of eggs being eaten by a fox…and almost the hen...the second setting hatched but "disappeared"...so we've been pretty happy to have these make it this far...partly because they have been in a large pen inside our barn since last August...I just turned them out this past Saturday to get adjusted to the "world"...and when night began to fall...the flew up in one of the large oaks to roost...with this happening I knew they would be alright...
...so we have finally accomplished what began many years ago...
