    Oh, also, how tall should I make a run? I will want to put a roof on it of some kind to keep the chickens contained.

    I don't have chickens as of yet, but am kind of a compulsive planner so I'm doing tons of research, lol. So I've been looking at the coop designs page and had and noticed that a few consisted of pre-fab sheds/playhouses etc. So that led me to looking into pre-fab sheds, and then to greenhouses...

    Also, I found a farm in MN that does much better on the prices than Leggs. :) I can even go pick them up and save on the shipping ... and waiting. :)

    So now I have another question! If I have a group of peacocks free ranging will they get along ok? No fighting and rivalries to worry about?

    That is great to hear! Now I just need to know how they will do with horses and if they will search out a hen! Then we get to start clearing out one of our out buildings to make the chicks a home base!

    Ha. Should have read closer. Would they still display though?

    So if I just get peacocks will they still display without hens around? Also will they try to get away to find a hen during mating season? They aren't cheap birds and I'd hate to lose one!

    Hi everybody! I have been thinking about getting some peafowl to hang around the farm. I am interested in free ranging them and I have just a few questions. I'm not in any rush to get the birds, I'm just the obsessive planner type :) 1. What is the best way to keep my population at a manageable...
