    Peacock and Peahen in wintertime

    If you have IB's the temperature won't really be an issue, but they don't like to be in the wind. If you have Spauldings/green blood they don't tolerate the cold as well. So sleeping in the trees might be fine in the summer but without leaves to keep the wind off they may not like it as much...

    Male or Female?

    She is an india blue barred-wing. I was going to link you to the stickies for Peafowl 101 and 201 so you could learn a little more about her, but the links are dead. Here is the main page for the stickies, maybe a mod can fix the links...

    Fall nest question

    Doubt they are fertile either, but if they are I'll go the other way - I would definitely pull them and raise them until 2-3 months old. Peahens are not the brightest moms in good weather, definitely not this time of year. She'll have them out in the frost at a day old. We always let them keep...

    Peafowl Chicks

    I slowly transition them: - inside with lamp on 24/7 - inside with lamp off during the day - inside with no lamp - their own area inside of the barn - general population Can't give you exact lengths of time for each step because they don't all hatch at the same time so different ages get...

    My hen was attacked

    Without pictures I would guess infection. If you have a vet nearby I would take her sooner than later. Good luck to you both!

    Help Needed

    1st, welcome to the peafowl area! 2nd, ignore the chicken people. Roosters are not the same as peacocks. 3rd, do not encourage people to beat your peacock with a stick. Also do not tie anything around his neck. Abusing animals is never the answer. Keep him separated if necessary but don't...

    6 day old peachick is not eating what can I do?

    Peachicks don't just start eating on their own. They have to learn how, from mom, older chicks, or if they are alone then from you. Don't feed them junk, get crumbles with as high protein content as the store carries. At this point it doesn't matter if medicated or not. Lick the tip of your...

    Are these peachicks or chicken chicks? What do you have for a pen?
