Staycations with peacocks!
Staycations with peacocks!
An
unusual thing is happening during the current hard
economic times, there is a tremendous amount of
inquiries with rural people looking for stay at home
activities for the summer with their families.
Dennis Fett co-owner/founder of the Peacock
Information Center has been fielding numerous
questions from his web site this spring from
potential peacock owners. They are looking into
incubating peahen hatching eggs this Summer as an
activity that will keep them and their family at
home.
According to Fett, “I am very surprised to hear from
so many people during these hard economic times as I
felt people would just forget about raising
peacocks/peafowl and that would be the end of the
peacock world we had the last 29 years”.
Because of this, Fett is coining a “Staycation with
peacocks”. For those not knowing what a stay-cation
is, it was a term created when people were looking
for a stay at home activity as an alternative to a
vacation.
Because of these difficult economic times many
Americans are not willing to just sit and do nothing
at home this summer. Rather, rural people living
where they can have animals are turning to raising
peacocks from hatching eggs.
All it takes are a few eggs and an incubator and in
28 days a peachick should hatch. During the
incubation period the egg owner is getting ready by
building a simple and inexpensive pen to raise the
new hatchling.
