Today on the cog vlog we have noticed over the last week that Ozella, our black shoulder peahen, has been missing during the day. We only see her when we feed the chickens and ducks and Scott, our male peacock, and then she just vanishes. We have been thinking that she had a secret or hidden peacock nest somewhere, and today I got super lucky because I saw here early this morning and followed her into the forest. I actually lost her for several minutes, but then she made her peacock or peahen noise, call, and that lead me into the right direction to where she was nesting. After several minutes of searching for her nest, and possibly peacock eggs, I caught a glimpse of her nesting on the ground in some thick ground cover. Her and her nest was pretty camouflaged and honestly I was pretty lucky to see and find the secret nest. She did get up off her nest and there were 5 peacock eggs under her, and we wanted to hatch some of our own peafowl, but at the same time I did not want to take her eggs that she's been sitting of for no telling how long now, so I made the decision to only take 2 of her p[peacock eggs and leave her with 3 eggs to hatch out herself. Before we put our 2 peafowl eggs in the incubator to hatch out, we candled the eggs to check and see if they were fertile peacock and eggs, and they are most definitely fertile peafowl eggs. And honestly it looks like they are much further along on than we expected, so they should hatch in the next weeks or days and we should have some baby peachicks running around on the farm. So baby peacocks hatched out by us and some peachicks hatched out by Ozella.

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

[@18rcurry]

She is or was trying to lead you away from where her nest is located when she started honking or squaking.

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

I love the way you spread the news to your animals all the time!

[@butterflyhippie]

I pray she and her eggs(babies) be fine in the woods. I pray all 5 babies make it. I bet they will be so...cute. 🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚

[@Grahamcracker6366]

Get a snake poking stick. I enjoy hearing y’all call the animals by their name. Scott showing off for Popcorn...lol!

[@DinSF]

Looks like it's time for you to get your goat in the Backwoods area for some clearing. And Mary Catl has such a gentle touch with her eggs but she's a sharp gal and knows what to do. She has so many talents and abilities!

[@RollinInTheDoughWithMsKlaubo]

Hubby and I love watching your channel! Marykarl is the best chicken young lady ever! So Smart and polite! Lovin us some peaches!

[@ChiJoy037]

Amazing! But after joining the Cog Squad, my husband now wants roosters, a peacock and a turkey! Where we live now, we can't even have a rooster and he's looking for another property! You're a bad influence on him. haha. Just joking. We love you all.

[@CogHillFarm]

😁😁😁❤️😂

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

This is how it all starts , I was in an apartment in Texas fast forward 5 years and now on my own homestead with goats and chickens , best of luck ✊👍

Cog Hill Farm, the gateway for homesteading 😆😆

[@rosejafari8917]

Keep on trucking. You'll find the right property for your goals. I found mine. I now have 10+ acres with 2 small gardens, chickens, ducks, geese, and goats. 👌

[@RockyCreekHomestead]

The Cog Hill egg hunters. You got your practice in with the previous emu egg hunt. Good stuff right there.

[@judithjohnson2111]

Well that's exciting. Jason's adventures on the farm. Love making the rounds with you. This city girl never knew how fun farm life can be. Something's always happening on Cog Hill Farm. Hard work but great fun.😁

[@megs7019]

Yeah, peacock 🦚 eggs..... hopefully they hatch along with the other 3 do well under mama..... wish you could have moved her and the entire nest in the coop! Look how big those turkeys are getting... all those lovely birds....

[@NovaScotiaSunshine]

🦚 babies!!! They are so cute. Can’t wait 😊.

[@sandragillingham6255]

I smile alot when watching your videos because your having fun and the videos are funny too 😅😂

[@wayneshirey6999]

Congratulations Ozella and Scott. We have 5 newly-hatched barn swallows on our front porch, but we haven't named them. We haven't even named their parents who nest here every year.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Jason, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🦃🐕🐈🌱🐐🎥👍👍👍

[@kayashmore4296]

I think if people were to watch your channel for the first time & see all of your animals they might think you were a bird sanctuary. I love to watch all that you guys do & your love & care for all of your animals. Its easy & interesting to watch. Even your goats & garden give us great information. God bless you all.

[@larryparish5984]

Catch Ozilla in the morning when she comes to eat & put her somewhere & go get her nest & let her hatch them there where they will be safe.

[@BeStrong_BeCourageous]

Wow! Imagine, if every egg hatches, there would be 7 peacocks on you farm!

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

Imagine 5 more Scott’s 😳😆😆

[@SiothaVest]

They fight when they get older - im soo watching until your babies are hatched. I have 5 off season babies now, and what a thrill.

[@cynthiabrennemann3513]

My papa Tony had a bunch of modular grates he would put together and when he'd find one of his gals sittin out of the coop, he'd build a protective cage around her with it, and anchor it to the ground to keep her from getting predated.

[@aroundmichaelsbarn601]

Snakes, chiggers, ticks, poison ivy...yep looks like a nice walk in a southern pine forest! Great video

[@Stargazer207]

Excited for baby peacocks! Be safe and merry Cog Squad!!!

[@BrittonFarmsHomestead]

I am so happy for you guys, can't wait to see the new peacock babies..... Good luck

[@luanahaigood278]

Loved end of video when Peaches is just strolling down the drive beside you lol. I’m so jealous of y’all’s life. I have goats chickens quail and ducks have 2 raised beds so far.i started to start a channel so other women my age (55)can totally do this. Not easily but if you really want it can do it.

[@skyedoolittle101hopehomest4]

This is such a great channel so glad I found you guys!! Pea chicks so exciting !!

[@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune]

I never heard it called lizard tail.. we call it swamp root but I know it has multiple names... the root is medicinal..

[@joycemunday1889]

OMG I love this family and how they care for all God's creatures. Thank you Cog Hill family for the love of your animals and life!!! We need 50,000 people more like you....God Bless You !!!

[@JOATology]

I was thinking it as you were saying it in the video. Please watch out for rattlesnakes out there brother. Great video. That's one sneaky little bird! I'm glad it all worked out for the best.

[@bulldogcottone5595]

MAN! When you handed MC those peacock eggs she had the biggest twinkle in her eyes! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of that.

I love the look on your kids face when you "you found her in the wood?!" So Cool. Peace :) P.S. I can't believe you found anything like that in 'The Woods' wow..! Really.

[@jeanburgin160]

So exciting to see you find her eggs!!! Will you add these two to the three she hatches? Sweet, lots of turkey chicks ... like the beautiful ducks too.

[@yeshuateachings4898]

Wow that's so cool! I can't believe that's how we found our peahen the same way lol. 😂

[@Miss449686]

Finding the peacock nest was a stroke of luck -- meant to be. Looking forward to some peacock chicks.

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Can't wait to see the peacock chicks I have never seen baby peacocks.

[@SiothaVest]

Join the fb group peacock fanciers and breeders for the best incubation, many breeders have spent years trying. She should have 6ish and some decoys... the end is the hardest

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

How exciting!!! Goodness you make me want to have peacocks on our farm!

[@dianepicard6198]

Wow can’t wait to see if they will hatch and have a proud papa

[@carolyoung3793]

God I can’t tell you how much I love your channel tfs xx

[@Gurmeetsingh-hc6ek]

I wish me too this type of life to live but unluckily i can't you guys are so lucky, I have peachicks, turkeys etc but haven't big property like yours. May you all lives good and healthy life ,like ur birds 🙏

[@tessaanderson6100]

SO CUTE

[@deborahbaker7656]

Happy anniversary. I enjoy watching these videos.

[@BarbiePerkinsCooper]

We've had a beautiful peahen adopt our front porch on May 5, 2022. Every day she would return until the late afternoon of June 20, 2023. I am looking for her everywhere. I named her "Pretty Girl, Pretty Girl." Whenever I came to place food and water on the porch for her, I called her. Almost every time she would rush to me when she heard "Here Pretty Girl, Pretty Girl." She trusted my husband and me and many times, she would eat from our hands. How I miss her. Some of you with more expertise could share and suggest if I need to continue placing fresh food in her bowl. Daily it appears that something has nibbled at the seeds. Perhaps she is 'nesting?'

[@BosnWayne]

Scott is those baby's Daddy!

[@CogHillFarm]

YAS!!! 😊😁😂

[@laurieleblanc2552]

Never a dull moment on your farm! Can't wait for baby peacocks. 😊

[@MoiNokaOi]

That was a funny honk, like hide and seek.

[@beckylitster29]

Happy Anniversary !! On my Birthday

[@joansmith3492]

have you seen the video of the guy who lived in a 3rd floor apartment in Belgium? europe's biggest owl made a nest in his planter box and hatched 3 babies. they sit there in the window box and watch TV with him. Vroege Vogels is the channel name

[@cynthiabyrd2997]

Wow, wonderful video ! I am praying for Ozilla and all the eggs !!!

[@stellajeffrey647]

Good evening everyone. I hope all those eggs hatch 🐣 Another great vlog inspector peahen 🦚😊💞

[@CogHillFarm]

I hope so too!

[@SunnySlopeHomestead]

That’s awesome you have some peacock eggs now . Now let’s hope she doesn’t get eaten. Of that was at my place she wouldn’t last the night . I need a outdoor dog but I just can’t make it work right.

[@tantrictami]

you should rotate your goats through those woods.

[@CogHillFarm]

Well unfortunately those woods are not my property

[@tantrictami]

Cog Hill Family Farm ha! Ozella is a squatter!

[@sandrathomas2145]

Waiting for those baby peacocks. I sure hope she stays safe though along with her eggs. Laying around when expecting lol. I had to work until a few little issues arose and the doctor took me off work, but my son I worked until the week before he was born so no laying around for me. They are adults now with their own children.

[@ytingyun]

That's sooo cool! Our peacock's nest is, well, it's to be discovered. Haha. How is the emu egg? Coming up- beautiful peacocks!

[@CogHillFarm]

Emu egg is still too early to tell if it’s fertile yet but fingers crossed!! Thx 😊

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

Exciting! Peacock babies!! I have hawks, eagles and owls always scoping out my chicks....what keeps them away from your place?

[@LifeOnBeagleRoad]

Thomas probably does hang out on the swing when you're not there!

[@annebiggins3876]

Please keep us posted with Scott's girlfriend and family. Have a good day!

[@BigDmike24]

Hope the peacock eggs hatch.👍👍

[@candroutdoors2937]

That's awesome, cant wait to see if they hatch

[@williamcrane8236]

It's late spring here in Kearney, MO. Got a proud new mama hen with 4 chicks and 5 eggs left so far and today the 2nd set of bunnies popped out from under my chicken tractor, 8 more itty bitties. How I'm going to have any garden this year without a big fencing project, I don't know. Wouldn't mind peacocks but my neighbors might. Well, 2 houses up have guineas so, maybe not.

[@tinabranch321]

That’s crazy you found her. She blended in with the fallen trees. I thought she was a stump.

[@maryartis6134]

Happy anniversary hope you have many more

[@tracybradshaw1362]

Your goats would make quick work of the part of the property

[@melissarichardson]

We want a peacock after watching your videos. If all 5 hatch and you decide to sell we are a couple of hours away here in Alabama. 🤞

[@charlesanderso1686]

So amazing. You have made a beautiful farm with your family.

[@gregkahle9046]

Cool recon mission, wonder if you'll be able to find the nest again lol.

[@nashvilleslim]

She sounds like the horn on the mystery machine. Most of those predators aren't big enough to take her own right? Your a geat father btw.

[@pamelagabert4709]

Beautiful babies!!! I'm curious whether you have ever raised Armenian cucumbers? They are so delicious. Never bitter, very crisp. I think they are considered a musk melon. Once you try them it's hard to go back to regular cucs.

[@sharonanspach2734]

[@DonnaRatliff1]

I'd LOVE to have a pair of Peacocks. ❤️ I'm on Lookout mtn AL. Btw, Do they go in at night with other birds or stay out in the trees? I have a huge bird house in my barn with a total enclosed run. McMurray is sending me 15 speckled Sussex Aug. I have 2 ducks sitting eggs 😁.

[@SiothaVest]

I have family in your area, im raising 5 peachicks now from tx, and will be in chattanooga this fall. Let me know if you're serious about peacocks, they take up to 2 yrs to lay maybe a dozen eggs, and boys 3 to 5 to get their trains

[@roberttravis9599]

When my sister and brother-in-law used to Ray eggs they always leave the pens closed up until at least 10:11 and not go out there and disturb the hens until that time and you'll be should get more eggs by that time all the chickens it will have all there egg-laying done and when you open the door up they want out get out quick so try that and see what happens

[@smor944]

MC took those eggs like you handed her a million dollars! Lol

[@awebblight08]

Dear MC, I have a very important chicken question. I am wondering what breed of Rooster would you choose for a small flock of lay hens. 10-20 ladies! We would like to hatch out some babies to keep our egg production up so any advice on what ladies you like would be very appreciated also! I know you know your stuff, girl! 😉 Love y’all’s vids!!!

[@CogHillFarm]

Thank y’all!!! She said she would try and find an Americana rooster. They are known for laying a lot of eggs, and their eggs are generally colored, and for the most part they are gentle roosters. For hens she suggest naked necks. They are super tame and lay a ton of eggs but she said if you don’t like the way they look, she suggest marans, Americana, or barred rocks 👍👍👍

[@birdseedranch1653]

Where do you get snowy mallards? We've been adding to our ducks and they are beautiful! And OMG peacock babies!

[@CogHillFarm]

They came from a local feed store but check with Ideal hatchery 👍
