OMG! Thank you so much for putting my comment in your video! It absolutely made my day, me and my little sister love your videos!❤️

[@Littleprettyl1ve]

Whith the coop you can also put thick hay or straw in the bottom of the closed area

[@aprilfurcean8302]

One thing we did for our rabbit hutches was put an additional layer of wire underneath the hutch floor so that there’s two layers on the bottom separated by the wood frame so that dogs or other predators could not reach their toes from underneath.

[@tjf.2659]

the little feathers that stick up on their heads is so cute.

[@pibly7784]

That’s called the “crest”. 👍

[@WMHhomestead]

Hatching your own birds is so rewarding! My favorite memories of this past year was hatching our own turkeys!

[@HappyFeet2314]

The little peachicks home look so cute! Maybe for painting on the outside you could paint all the animals you have on it.

[@jameslobo6807]

U need to put some broom sticks across so that they perch/ grip the stick. The feet remain strong when perched.

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

I hatched out 3 peachicks the same time you did, and I have already had 2 die unexpectedly. Thank you for preparing me for how fragile these little dinguses are. I still have one going strong and I picked up a few Guinea Fowl chicks to keep it company. Glad to see that yours are still kicking.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Ahh, I’m sorry to hear that

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

@@whitehouseonthehill I've got another clutch of eggs in my incubator as well. Hopefully I have better luck with this batch. At least I can try twice and hopefully I wont have to do it for 3 years to get them to adulthood, thanks to your videos.

[@jibranbhat8711]

You guys are Lucky. Here it's illegal to own a peacock

[@nouvel0001]

​@@Arthur-ek7nd Provide them with a space that mimics their natural environment & they will thrive. They need much larger & taller spaces . And they prefer to forage for food. Peahen favor higher areas/ trees to roost so natural branches work well. Male prefer ground level . Males need space to spread their tail feathers which is a natural thing for them to do.

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

@@nouvel0001 i have an aviary on my farm that is over 1.5acres enclosed with 15ft ceiling. The issue is that the babies are fragile and prone to illness more than other fowl. I have hatched and raised basically everything, but the peachicks are by far the most fragile for the longest of any I have hatched.

[@bitsycook91]

They are so cute. You could make a wooden ledge or platform to set the feed on and they it may be a bit more comfortable for their feet. They will transition to the wire easier. Beautiful peacocks!

[@akcreation3577]

I suggest put a stick for them to hold and sit on so the one with leg problem will try to grab it while sitting and might improve its leg condition. 😊

[@estelaluque7804]

Bc

[@mikewazowski7830]

Honestly that would more reinforce the bent position of the feet if it tries to keep its toes closed I understand you're thinking about it would improve dexterity which means it's ability to actually move the toes but that would not help it increase its ability to move the toes to a straight position only towards a curved position

[@ASSASSIN_Puppet.]

Maybe 😊

[@akcreation3577]

@@mikewazowski7830 I had one parrot baby with same problem, and once it started to sit on stick it's condition improved so I think it may work.

[@JZ-fu4cb]

I've seen it work with a couple olive Eggers I hatched. The both had curly toes. As they grew up I noticed only one with one foot that has curly toes. They just roost on a 1x1 board

[@tiffanytarno7289]

[@charlotterivera-mx1lg]

Give those beautiful peacocks a good loving home that they will like.

[@acgray1972]

[@darlouthia5153]

So neat to see the progress of your builds and just seeing things grow ❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you!

[@mikewazowski7830]

One thing you could paint on the outside is a little plaque when you come up with names for the rest of them or you can do a small child's mural of those birds on the outside

[@rhock1979]

I recommend to treat the wood on the outside to protect it from the weather and areas inside where rain can get so that the wood don't rot. Plus at the bottom of 2 by 4 ( long pieces of wood), to put plastic Furniture Pads Nail On Furniture Feet Nylon Chair Leg Floor Protectors on the wood tuchching the floor ie soil to protect the bottom of wood getting damage caused by the weather ie rain and snow

[@Geekingfr]

I would put a natural tree branch a little higher up across two points in the peachick cage for them to sit and possibly roost on, I have natural branches for my chickens and they like to sit on it more than on flat surfaces or just completely round sticks❤😅🐓

[@nouvel0001]

Peacocks need much larger space with natural branches. In the natural environment the females roost on higher areas/ trees , males favor ground level. And they like to forage for food in large open areas. Males need space to spread their tail feathers.

[@NekoRaijin]

This could also help the pea chick with the curled toes. If the stick has a variety of widths, it’ll help exercise it’s feet.

[@Geekingfr]

@@NekoRaijin yup that’s what I had in mind, because one of my chickens had 1 curled toe and it was gone after roosting on a natural branch for a while

[@justinneuroth1371]

Maybe curl your tin so the raw edges aren't tempting injury. You always do amazing in your builds.

[@cesarp.3035]

My grandparents have chickens that have the same foot problem and they have a normal life I think that peachick is going to be fine Hope the little ones do great i'm their growth

Your house is full of all natural beauties.. I had never seen white baby peacocks before 😍.. I love your bee keeping videos specialy., it's so good to see how your little once help u in every work,, keep going man💐💐. from INDIA 🇮🇳

[@isralyn1418]

Love seeing how they are growing strong. You could do a soft teal color for the paint, maybe add some peacock theme colors with it just to make it pop! Love the build. Also sorry for the loss of the two chickens. As much as I love foxes, they are horrid at going after live stock. Also, is that a new sponsor? Haven’t seen them before but curious to try! Hope y’all’s week goes well! ❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you! Yes, new sponsor 😊

[@whiteclawjimmy]

When holding any of your birds id recommend holding their wings against their body. This way they don’t flap like crazy while you’re holding them. (Preventing potential injury especially when their young. Ive also noticed it keeps them calm as it feels like their mom holding them tightly under the wing. Keep up the great videos!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Correct. Sometimes I did it that way because I was holding the camera in the other hand. Usually I would hold them with two hands to hold their wings down

[@beckylitster29]

U have the most unique birds. So cool

[@MandaBee-pf2jz]

I'm so glad they're still alive!!!

[@HomesteadingWithAngie]

Im finding myself looking at a clock on Sunday waiting for the video. Love the new hutch. Great job!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@VedaSay]

Birds have this talon design where the talon opens only if the bird uses its muscle to open it. Else the birds weight keeps the talons grasp and lock on to the branch/twig they are sitting on. That is the reason you do not see birds falling off tree even in strongest of storms. May be adding resting place like a branch would help the bird grow as close to nature.

[@ThatOneSammi]

I can tell you seriously enjoy building new things. Bravo! The peachicks look very happy indeed :) Do you want to paint it? You should! Looks amazing, only uphill from there!

[@acgray1972]

Instead of peacocks you should call them poopcocks! 🤣🤣🤣 Or instead of P-Chicks , Poop-Chicks! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ritaorgel9100]

I would think smaller walkway since they pop so much maybe something a couple inches wide . Love watching the kids helping mom and dad ❤

[@dimitargueorguiev9088]

i love the new house

[@dadstiny_]

we do something like this on the farm that I work for. i would just say keep an eye on their feet but otherwise it looks great and i love that you added those perches!

[@Something-Somes]

@White House on the Hill Awhile ago (about 2 years ago) I sent you a plan on FB for a quail hutch for fun...this build gave me memories of those again. That mesh is what we used for those too. My suggestion for mods and paint would be to add some simple wooden trim to the edges and corners...than paint the trim and face whichever colors look nice for your surroundings to match it up. A nice project would be to make some grass and flower painting stencils to use on your bird boxes,tractors and hives...so you can paint some home and garden style murals on them. Lots of different things to do for little mods :) It is all based on preference. I like using the suspended feeders better than the ground ones but it really depend on the build. The ground one in this case is easier to work with. I like fancy builds with the sliding panel that opens up for access to the suspended feeding trough feeder. Bird seed hangers are fun for DIY projects and are great activities for birds that are cooped up. Back in the day I used them a lot with indoor birds of all types. Active happy birds yield better results. :)

[@michelehumann811]

GREAT job with the peachick hutch ..... you are very good with your hands

[@beckyzolotor4078]

Hey guys, I really like the Peacock house and really cute hoping and most importantly it's safe for them....The children is growing so much,hey to Becky too. It was really great to see an video of the One-N-Only White House On The Hill ❤❤

[@lillianarndt9626]

I belive that you are going to have beautiful and healthy peachicks this year. Their house 🏠 is sufficiently big enough all you need is a little bit of paint !

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Nice build! The bird seem to really like the new place. Especially the enclosed area.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thanks, Sandy!

[@howdyhey4985]

For safety sake for a little extra support with the length of the structure id say put an extra couple legs towards the middle. Other than that it looks good.

[@bailatwerski2951]

I think you're doing a great job and you knows best what's for wood in your area whether or not it needs to be treated on the outside. Keep up the amazing work for doing!!! A huge fan of yours and your talent hard working family!!!!❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you very much 😊

[@Andrea-xs4ny]

Love the new house. So cute and glad that they're getting used to it. I was wondering if slanting the roof towards the front wouldn't be best, to keep the water off the building wall behind it. Also, could you put wood chips on the floor to make it more comfortable for them? Thanks for another fun and educational video, guys!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

I could do some kind of gutter of sorts to run the water to the side of the shelter, but it’s under/next to the garage so it’s partially covered from the roof above so I don’t think it will get a big pile of rain water collection underneath.

[@SuburbanFowlFarms]

When the toes are curved like that it doesn’t cause death I have 2 Guineas and they both have it and they are healthy

[@jessicatuck-cu5bv]

Possibly adding a mat in the pen with some bedding. Something that would be easy to clean but not entertain any bugs in there

[@jeremeequijada5802]

Their so cute! 😊

[@maalimy]

Great setup & I sincerely hope this time around, the cute chicks stay safe & become big birds. Just thought, it might be a wise idea to use a regular PVC pipe cut through the middle and slide through the sharp edge of the metal roofing. Purely for safety purposes as I wouldn't want any freak accidents happening with kids running around, the beautiful souls there are precious ❤️. Btw great video & god bless you all. Love from the Maldives.

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I really enjoy this video and being able to see the entire inside of your new Pea foul home… Especially is the chicks jump from one piece of wood to the next, and they all followed. Whoever was the Lier, and then they went into the last place where they were more secure from the world. I applaud you for your creative thinking. I don’t think it’s necessary to paint anything because unless you got a lot of paint laying around that’s not being used, you might as well leave it natural. At the most, maybe paint your names on the side of the structure

[@ashishvijayan5897]

Love your content and wanna live it. I had a hen that had the same problem with the leg. Tried the stick on her foot. Didn’t stay for long. I think after they reach a certain weeks, it might be difficult. The hen didn’t walk properly and stumbled and had posture issues, as she balanced herself with her lower body weight rather than her foot. So yaah.. I suggest find a solution before its too late. Cause it will have an effect on the bird physically and psychologically.

[@minibatman2.016]

Baby peacocks look almost identical to baby turkeys

[@jamesbrown8718]

You should paint the outside and give pea chic house a name. Like “The P palace” or “The Pea Inn”

[@connieoday322]

Take out all the shelfs. They roost and will be pooping on them. Use a tree branch to put where shelfs were. remember do not put it flush with back. They need to roost and fly up on it and big enough around for them to use their feet, sit and roost walk balance to support all their weigh. Plus have food and water away from under where they poop. Change out branches to fresh ones every 2 weeks. I use thick old branches for my dead tree limbs. Remember far enough from back area so they can set comfortable on the branches and have tail and body room. I have 30 peacocks now. They free range. Good luck
