Many of you know we breed several colors of peafowl. Typically, we sell birds at about six months of age, but at times we do offer India blue chicks for sale. Now is that time! We don’t offer other colors as chicks and the India blue chicks will be in limited supply.

If you are interested, we are In Griffin , Ga. Please feel free to send me a PM for inquiries.

As it gets closer to breeding season the females will begin to fight for and pick their mate.

It’s feeding time here at Bird South Farm. It won’t be long and the emus will begin to pair up for breeding season.

Many of you know I added blonde and white emus to the farm this year after being on a wait list for
Over a year. I was so excited to bring them home! The blondes and whites seem to be more relaxed and calm
In nature. I haven’t figured out names for them all yet but the white Male is “Possum.” I hope to offer both blondes and whites in about a year and a half to amazing homes. If you are interested in being added to the wait list for standard colored emus next year, or the blondes and whites when I have them, please feel
Free to message me!

These peafowl 🦚 eggs have been collected over the last several days. I’ve been collecting them to place a lot in the incubator at one time. I have some due to hatch on or about the 14th and then two more batches after that due to hatch.

Hatching our peafowl are a lot of
work but I enjoy seeing what we will
get. My husband is not a big talker but we do well working together. Well, I say that but if we actually were employeed somewhere together me might kill each other lol. Household projects, hatching and raising birds and other hobbies we do well together. Raising peafowl is definitely a labor of love. Lots of hard work involved. I’ve hatched a lot
Of different birds, peafowl are by far the most difficult to not just hatch, but to raise as well. All of my peafowl are raised off the ground until 4-6
Months of age. Soon, it’s going to be crazy around here with all the babies. I’m up to the challenge!

I said I had a fabulous day yesterday and would share about it today. Well, I have been on the waitlist with Emu Island’s Joanne Ƀartell for blonde and white emus for at least a year. I had been patiently waiting as her wait list is extensive, and for good reason. The plan came together very quickly and within a few short hours of talking to her I was picking up my new babies. I have not gotten any white babies yet because her wait list is extensive for those as well. Hopefully she will produce enough whites this year that I will get those too this season. If not, there is always next year.

I want to say that Joanne has become not just my mentor with my emus, but my dear friend. Meeting her and her husband was truly the highlight of my day! I wish we had more time but these babies needed to get home and get some food in their bellies and the heat lamp
On them.

If you are looking for Blonde or white emus I highly suggest Joanne, but don’t wait - I’m sure her lists for next year will be filling up too!

It is peafowl season, yall! 🦚 🦚
Im just starting to get the first eggs of the season! If you are looking for peafowl, please feel free to contact us here at Bird South Farm! I have lots of yearling pairs available! It won’t be long now and we will be very, very busy with lots of chicks! Spring is in the air!

Some have asked which incubators we use and preferences. Here is a quick video. Enjoy!

One of my sweet girls loving some extra attention.

03/03/2021

Sadly my phone died and I am now charging it, but rest assured I will
Post more when I can! Can you tell I am excited?! It is so hard to not “help” them out!

The humidity went a bit high but look what is happening today!

27/02/2021

For those that have been waiting on emu chicks, my emus finally began to lay again. So strange that they started, laid 2 then stopped. They just began laying again. I will go down my wait list as eggs are laid to let you know if I should have some available. Thank you so much for all of your patience!

21/02/2021

Well it is past due for sure! Began to think I’d only get two eggs this year!

03/01/2021

We have seen our emus breeding and they finally decided to lay these gorgeous eggs! We can’t wait to hatch these babies out and share the pics and videos with you. If you are interested in hatchlings, please feel free to message us!

My daughter caught the emus breeding today. It won’t be much longer and we will be incubating. I know several of you have reached out to me about babies. I have several names written down. If you are interested in chicks feel free to pm me.

How has your week been thus far? This about sums mine up! Farm life is never predictable, but also never boring!

We bought lots of pumpkins ( more in the bed if the truck) to spread amongst our peafowl enclosures for a tasty treat!

17/10/2020

Our 50x50 peafowl enclosure is almost complete. My son and husband have been working very hard to get it completed. We still need to add our automatic waters, our sand for substrate, cedar roots and complete the door. We are ready to complete it. 🦚

19/09/2020

Progress! The grow out pen for the peafowl is coming along nicely. This enclosure will be 50x50, our biggest yet! Still need to put the netting on top and build the door. We also will add cedar roosts from trees cut from the farm and hung by chain under the covered area.

These are not my pics but I am sharing with permission. You can see in these pics of India Blue peafowl how the bird on the left, the male still has barring or stripes. The female has lost her barring.

07/09/2020

It is that time of year, friends! My emus are drumming! Breeding season will be here before you know it!

Did you know that males make a grunting noise and females make a drumming noise? They do this
Much more often in breeding season. The sounds of the emus brings me joy. Between the emus drumming and grunting, the peafowls calling, the Guineas chattering, the geese honking and the donkeys braying I joke I have my very own Jumanji.

For me, farm life is the best life!

05/09/2020

This is not my photo but I wanted to share. Many ask how to tell a male from a female peafowl. This is one way to help identify India blue peafowl.

When the horse got out we quickly checked to see if the other fur beasts were ok. Thankfully, all is well here at Bird South.

05/09/2020

Farm life is so unpredictable. This morning my sweet neighbor called to ask if our horse was out. Turns out it was our horse. A tree fell on our back pasture fence and she escaped. Thankful for Country living and amazing neighbors. Here are some pics of my daughter with her horse as we walk her home.

One of my favorite emus here at the farm, Big Bird. Big Bird is typically so affectionate. I adore him. When I scratch his head he just closes his eyes.
