Hello! I have peafowl in the age range of 11 to 14 weeks old and I wanted to see what sexes they are leaning to.
Red is on far left, behind red is purple, closest to white is green, and the one who is on the far right is my DNA tested female.
Hello, this is my yearling peafowl. It is a little bit past a year old and while I think it is a peacock I’m having some doubts😅 any idea if it is a peahen or peacock?
I have read and heard many different things in regards to raising peafowl. My question is, when do you all move them outside to an outdoor coop? Mine are 2 months. I want to move the brooder box outside with stall refresh(I think it's called). Our nights are typically about 70deg, occasionally...
Hey everyone. Name's Chris. Quick question for anyone that has hatched out peafowl eggs successfully. What mistakes can I avoid making? And what incubators did you use? This is the first time for me hatching turkeys or peafowl, and I do not want to screw it up. I've been hatching ducks...
I just got my first 3 peachicks with the intention of letting them free range. From what I have read it wounds like Ai should let one out at a time until they know where home is for sure. How do I know when that is? What kind of timeline do people tend to do this before hopefully successful...
...also, we have new peachicks.
So I need to brainstorm a fencing project to keep the deer out, and at the same time attempt to keep the peafowl in, so I need some real owner examples and data.
Some of my yard has 6' stockade fence. I have seen deer, with difficulty, jump it. I think 3 feet of...
To my surprise, I found this little one in my backyard this afternoon. We have no turkeys or peacocks in my neighborhood, so I don’t know how to explain this. My question is, is it a turkey or a peacock? I want to make sure I take care of it properly.

Could you help me identify this peacock's coloration?
I recently purchased it from another farm, but unfortunately, the seller didn’t have any knowledge about peafowls.
I suspect it might be IBBSSP, but I’m unsure because I haven’t noticed any WE traits yet.
...much about these awesome birds, but something that annoys me is that people say: " Hey, look, peaCOCK eggs!". Anyway, i got my hands onto 2 peaFOWL eggs, and i have lots of experience hatching birds, i have hatched somewhere around 1,500 quail, 100 chickens, 40-50 ducks, and 25 geese. But i...
Peafowl are some of the most striking birds you can keep—those vibrant feathers, the proud strut, and of course, that unforgettable call. Many people are drawn to them for their beauty alone, but those who’ve spent time around them know they’ve got big personalities too.
Some keepers say they...
we’re planning to net in our 50x50’ ‘big bird’ yard that currently contains a few turkeys to accommodate the two peafowl that are currents growing in an indoor aviary. Will this type of netting work? We usually get a week or two of snow in the winter, will that sag/break a net like this? We can...

Hey all,
Is there anywhere online where I can find a reputable breeder? I'm in CO and we have a lot of pied/white/and india blue breeders, but I'd love to find someone that sells Opals. I'm still new to networking, if anyone has any good recs.
I have two Peafowl who are approaching 3 months old. Just moved them outside to a pen (10-14 days ago perhaps). Been going well, been letting them out periodically and supervising them. Just bumming around in the garden, bit too skittish to explore. Been out during the day for last 3 days, no...
Hello everyone. I hope I'm posting in the right place.
Can anyone please help me figure out what gender my yearling peafowl is?
I thought male for a long time then I thought hen. But I'm really not sure.
Its about 9 months old. And my other 2 I was able to tell by the time they were 4 months...
Hello Peafowl friends.
Our peafowls are free-range, but in the evening they sleep for 12 hours in their own room.
We have a 4x4 meter room where the peafowls also find shelter during the day, especially when it's windy or raining.
They like to stay there and enjoy the view from the window.
We...
Hi everyone,
Can I please get help, on the sex of my peafowl. He (yes I want it to be a he) is around 20 weeks old.
His color stated off as green, but is definitely turning more blueish.
The color is also spreading down the back of its neck, to the shoulders, and down to its chest.
He...
My peachicks have been thriving and I got them into their “to big for the brooder” rabbit hutch which will last for a little while on my screen porch. They seem really happy to see out to the outside world.
I have their preventatives for Cocci and a dewormer, and bluekote for injuries, and...
