Peacocks are one of the most beautiful birds in nature. Their beautiful feathers have long been used for ornamentation. Peacocks are members of the pheasant family. The word peacock actually refers to the male but is commonly used to refer to both sexes of this species. The most common breed of peacock is the Indian Blue Peacock. Peacocks are omnivores; their diet consists mostly of grain, grass, plants, insects and other small creatures although peacocks will eat just about anything. Contrary to popular belief, peacocks do fly but only for short distances. At night peacocks like to roost up high in trees or other high places. Peacocks reach maturity between eight and ten months of age. Peacocks have an average lifespan of twenty years in the wild but have been known to live as long as 40 years when domesticated. Peacocks are actually known as Peafowl. A male Peacock is known as a Peacock. A female Peacock is known as a Peahen. A baby Peacock is known as a Peachick. A family of peacocks are known as a bevy. A group of peacocks is referred to as a party. Peacocks are quite companionable birds. Peacocks get along well with other birds and like plenty of open space where they can roam free. They also enjoy being where they can get plenty of sunlight. Peacocks prefer peace and harmony and will try to avoid turmoil. Peacocks have a crest or crown on the top of their heads that gives them a royal appearance. Males may have a harem of females which will each lay three to five eggs. The average length of an adult peacock’s beak is an inch long. Peacock feathers are still popular decorations and are often used in crafts. Peacocks are one of the easiest birds to raise. Female peacocks, peahens, make excellent mothers. The brilliant hues and decorative “eye” of a peacock’s tail feathers is the peacock’s trademark. An adult peacock’s train of feathers can be up to six feet long. A peacock can also have a wingspan of up to six feet. A peacock uses its large train in courtship and mating rituals. The peacock has long been a symbol of beauty and elegance, and rightly so.

We are giving you our customers one very Special Deal for 2009. We are not holding anything back. All of our rare and exotic species of Peahen hatching eggs will be included in our 2009 Special.

On our for sale page you will see a list of all of our peahen hatching eggs that could be included in your order. We can not accept request for any certain color on this Special. Single colors can be purchased separately.
We do not sell single eggs this year. Our minimum order is four peahen hatching eggs.   They must be all the same color.  You can order more than one color if you like.  They will just be shipped separately.

We take orders before the hatching egg laying season begins every year.
We will advise you the day your eggs are shipped. This will give you a chance to give you post master notice that they are on the way. If you have delivery instructions for us please let us know what you need when you place your order. We will try to work with you when possible. If there is a time that you can not receive you eggs please let us know your blocked dates. We do not want your eggs delivered to your home when you are not there. These things have to be done when the eggs are ordered.
If we have to put a hold on your eggs for an emergency we can, but, this will take you out of line and put you at the end of the line.
We want to work with you in every way we can.
All of our orders are filled in the order they are received.

We double box all our hatching eggs that are shipped.
We use Priority Mail with the USPS. They provide the exterior box.
Each egg is wrapped in bubble wrap. The eggs are placed into the interior box and secured by pushing packing peanuts snugly under, around and over each egg. This box is then placed inside the Priority box. We add more packing peanuts all around to make sure the interior box will not move. A copy of our Texas Pullorum Thyphoid certification is placed in each order. The exterior box is sealed and the labeling begins.
Your eggs come with red labels telling the post office how to care for you eggs.
You will need to provide us with a contact telephone number for your post master. We would like for your post master to call you when your eggs get to his post office. We would like for you to pick your eggs up from your post office. We would like for you to look at your eggs at the post office. We have not had a broken egg yet, but, we still want you to check. We have had an exterior box crushed. The eggs were not broken but we did replace the eggs anyway. You know they had to be “all shook up.”
We do need an address that your post office uses to deliver your mail.
If you want the eggs delivered to someone other than yourself. Please provide the name with the address.
We try to do everything we can to help get your eggs to you quickly.

We will have Peahens, Pheasants, and Wild Rio Grand Turkeys laying this year.
They will all start laying as the weather warms up. They have started laying as early as mid January. Or as late as mid March.
The laying season will go on until it gets too hot, sometime in June or July. The dates can be different every year. The 2008 season started late due to cold weather. The first egg was laid in March our first eggs normally hatch around March 17.

We would like to wish every one a happy and prosperous new year.
Our 2009 laying season will be underway soon.

We wish everyone a merry christmas.
