I think they will be fine, mating season is almost over and they are all being put into a strange place at one time so for a little while there will be no territorial dispute unless you just have a really aggressive male.

 

 Congratulations and post some photos when you can.

They should be fine. After breeding season a lot of breeders seperate the males from females and I have seen pictures of a pen of males displaying. They will most likely create a pecking order for the food though.

He is ok. Must have been scared witless. Poor thing. We actually got 34 peacocks, 12 adults the rest chicks ranging from a couple days to 2 or 3 months!!! The Spalding male is a high percentage green, he believes 80%. He was showing me how to tell if they are real greens or spaldings. He said look at the female b/c the male's can trick you. He was betting that my pure java would look almost just like  his spalding. I can't wait to get out there and take pictures. I am doing homeschool right now, well my son is TAKING his time!! Uhh! The first days back are like beating your head on a brick wall.
