peacocks

I have hatched peacock eggs for a couple of years now and have always had good hatch rates. Usually I have a 90% hatch rate but lately I have had about 25%. Pretty much all of the eggs are fertile and seem healthy right up till it’s time to hatch and then they die. They don’t even internally...

Hi guys! I supposedly have two 10 month old peacocks (one is white so we don’t exactly know) and their outdoor pen is pretty empty since they ate all the grass. I am wanting to put in some small plants like grass or bushes for them to interact and eat. What kind of plants can I put in there that...

Hi, I have two peacocks who are brothers (Sebastian and Parker), we've had them for 1 year now and they get along very well. Recently, Parker has started to act weird - neck is lowered, he rarely eats, is looking smaller than Sebastian and lets us touch him unusually quite a lot. Sometimes he...

Hi there. I work on an 50 acre estate as gardener, and one of my duties is to look after the resident free range peacocks. (I know they’re not chickens, but I’m hoping there is some similar advice) at the moment we have 14 adults, and last month we found 7 peachicks, which we have brought...

I really googled this so much but I can't find a clear answer. I just want to know how many grams or pounds of food do the average adult peafowl consumes. also how many liters of water does it drink?

I would really love to get a couple baby pea chicks. I would like to give one to my Mom for Mother's Day and raise the other with my baby chicks. Anyone near KY have any available?

Hi, Iv been raising backyard, small farm flocks ever since I was a little kid. Iv raised flocks of Turkeys & chickens. Right now I have chicken, ducks, and peacocks. My chickens have mainly reproduced on their own and kept my flock at an acceptable number for my family. I recently bought a...

I posted last year when my peachick, Rashki, was younger, and I got mixed responses if I remember correctly one or two people said it was a Indian blue male and the other people said it looked like a Spaulding peahen. Just wondering what the verdict is now that he/she is a bit older! Because I...

I purchased a group of 5 peachicks about 2 1/2 mos ago and they wound up being all hens.. go figure if anybody has at least 1 cock around 3 mos or so I will swap 2 of my hens for one.

We have recently moved to Grenada and acquired 1 peacock & peahen. We picked them up 2 days ago with 1 egg. Yesterday there were 2 more eggs. We have secured them in a shaded area My questions are:- How long do we need to keep them secured prior to letting them roam free? How would I know if the...

I have a lovely pair of India Blues that need a new home. I hatched them from eggs and they are now 6 years old and in fine plumage. I am in central Maryland and could help transport anywhere in the state, or about a 4 hour radius.

I'm so glad to be here!! looking forward to the wealth of knowledge I can gain from everyone. I'll introduce myself by letting you know where I live and answering the sample questions. I live in a small town in northeast Pennsylvania called Drums, on a farm that my husband and I inherited from...

Hello, what a great site. I do not yet have chickens, but I do have 2 male Peacocks; they have their own walled garden and coop where they eat and sleep but do come and roam the garden with the family. I don't have chickens; however our farm does and the chickens wander down and hang out. If...

Good morning BYC people, we built a home on 6 acres and was surprised one day by two peacocks that roamed onto the property and never left. However, the female was acting funny and ended up passing away early this morning. They are not even a year old as far as I know (no long feathers). My...

Hello. I’ve had so many people saying different stuff about my new pair. Can anyone please tell me what do I really have? This hen is suppose to lay eggs anytime soon and I want to know what type of chicks I can expect This is the Female ⬇️ Didn’t have any wing band! And the male ⬇️...

Hello from Georgia. I've been told this is the place to go for questions. I have two teal blue-green (supposedly rare) quiet peacocks, actually peacock and peahen I've had for seven months. During Monday's evening feed the peahen got out and flew the coop. The following day she was spotted 50ft...

I was thinking of getting a pair of peacocks (male and female) and was wondering if they are loud? We have neighbors close by on each side of our house and some behind. So, I dont want to get any if they are loud. Never had any before, so was wondering if they had a quieter breed?

Hi BYC Community, This is my first time posting, and I have the classic question. Ha! So here is a bit of the back story. I live in Mexico, and unfortunately here as in many other countries, there are a lot of strays. Ive lived here most of my life, and have a tendency to take in pretty much any...

I have 3 peachicks 3-4 months old 2 of them are a little older and a lot larger. I'm starting to think I have all males since they have lost any barring yet but I'm not sure. I'm new to peacocks. IMG_2877 by FarmerRN79 posted Aug 29, 2017 at 3:53 PMIMG_2865 by FarmerRN79 posted Aug 29, 2017 at...
