    Intrested in peafowl, few questions.

    My husband and I are thinking about getting a couple of peafowl. I have a few questions... what is the average lifespan? If I raise them from babies, will they hang around my house? Will they hurt my chickens if they are raised around them (my chickens free range on a couple of acres)? Sorry...
