Lone peahen wandering about: is there anything we can do for her?
Do peacocks have a pecking order similar to chickens, making it a little rough at first for a newcomer? I'm asking because I just found out that someone about 20 miles from here has a lot of peacocks. I might contact him and see if he wants to try to catch her and add her to his flock. But if... -

Not much. There's more outside in the coop area, plus goodies to eat while free-ranging outside the coop.- Kipster
