Where? LOL

What do you call a peacock strut? I tried looking it up, but the subject is apparently very common regarding men, and that's just awkward. The sticky post "Behavior" section is still in construction and incomplete since 2013. Thank you.

Is it possible to grow grain in the chicken yard, or will the chickens eat it? I was thinking about utilizing as much of my property as possible. I have 3 and a half acres. A third of that is the chicken yard, letting them free range during part of the day. I was hoping they would help weed and...
