These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

Ok so I'm learning a peacock is a peafowl right? If so what are the benefits of having them and where can you get them?

Thanks!

They're beautiful to have around. In many cases you can find peafowl in the farm and garden section of your local craigslist

They are really fun birds. They are fun to just watch and they do some funny things sometimes. The peacocks are really fun to watch display and it is fun watching peahens raise their peachicks.

I like referring to the Peafowl Breeders' Directory for local breeders in my area. It helps out a lot. Just click on your state and it will give you a listing of all the peafowl breeders in your state. http://www.peafowl.org/breeders.htm

10 peafowl: 1 India Blue, 1 blackshoulder, 1 pied, 4 splits (pied or white), 3 whites.
Wanted: Pure Indo-Chinese (Imperator) peafowl, I also want a new pen!
