    How many peahens and what age?

    I am new to the world of peafoul. I had a peacock show up on my property almost a year ago and he has stuck around. I’m pretty attached to him at this point, so I would like to build him an enclosure to keep him safe and get him some girlfriends. I am busy doing all the research that I can, but...

    One broody hen, others quit laying?

She does hoever have LOTS of same sized pin-feathers on her belly from neck to vent and even under her wings. So maybe she is molting? And toward the back half of her belly it's very red with...
