I've just cleaned her up and it's left a rather large hole. Do I have to keep her in for X amount of time and if so how long?
I should add that they are never caged and basically feral, the only time they go in the coop is to lay as they sleep in the tree.
One of our Peahen's eggs started hatching yesterday, it's her first time and her reactions are too cute.
Five of the six eggs have hatched with one remaining, I can hear the Peachick inside so it's obviously alive.
My question is should I intervene and help it?
I ask this because last year one...

Any way out of the...
So basically we moved to a house which had a feral chicken and peafowl. She would lay eggs which was obviously unfertilized eggs which i had to destroy so she didn't get killed for nothing i suppose. Then one day our neighbors rooster came over and the rest is history.
I have a few of questions...
Long story short. Moved into a house with Peafowl. One Peacock and two Peahens, both had two chicks in 2015 (one male and three female). Now two of those Peahens have laid. One is still sitting on them the other hatched about 7-9 days ago. Both peachicks were doing well.
Now yesterday i...
