Our 12 yo pie-bald male is now aggressive toward my husband
Oh wow! I did not see all these replies until now. Thank you all for the advice. I will read through it and see what I can adopt. One thing is, he is simply not an outside pet, and we have cold winters so there is no way I will transition him to fully outside in his lifetime. But here are my... -
Our 12 yo pie-bald male is now aggressive toward my husband
Edit: Henri has had an arthritic leg since childhood and he is visibly in pain and limps. Since he cannot tell us how much it hurts I also worry his pain may be getting worse over the last decade and that is why he is more frustrated. he is prescribed Novox but it is not making any difference. -
Our 12 yo pie-bald male is now aggressive toward my husband
Hello all, TLDR: 12 yo hand raised male peacock aggressive the ast two years, progressively worse, towards my husband. Is there hormone therapy, or behavioral training? We have had Henri since a chick and although he has a big personality, he never used to attack us. He would only attack... -
Our 9 year male hasn't lost his feathers yet this year and keeps mating
May I ask as layman, I have no idea what that means :) What does pulling train and tails mean? Keeping the feathers all year round? What influences that bodily decision? Large breeders means large peacocks? He is pretty large, larger than blue ones. He is 9.5 years old, is that a prime? He is... -

Well,he has house light but he's been living like that for 9 years and only this season he's not molting. He does go to sleep late about 10pm and gets up around 8am. -
Our 9 year male hasn't lost his feathers yet this year and keeps mating
Hello Peaple, so I have completely forgot about this chicken forum for years and yesterday my husband said, maybe I should ask a question here. Our peacock Henri has been a joy and a pia but he's so beautiful and has become more adorable with years. He is now, 9.5 years. Every year, at the drop... -
Alternative treatment for supposed arthritis in 5 yo male
Yes, he has a pen but it is not huge like a whole yard. Also, with Winter coming he will get less time there...My dream is to move to florida so he can be out all the time :-) -
Limping Peacock
Yes, pepper and turmeric but safe for birds? I could make an oil infusion or buy supplement that is not powder maybe... I'll research the stem cell cure. Since he is so young and our only one, I would be happy to invest in his future and happiness. Thank you :-) -
Alternative treatment for supposed arthritis in 5 yo male
Ok, so I have a green/blue/white male of 6 years of age, and he started limping about 1.5 months ago. He would do it only sometimes, but most times he kinda lifts his foot and stare at it or avoid standing on it, especially after sleeping he would be stiff. Since he sometimes gets into fights... -

Ideas for an indoor perch for peacock?
Hello Peabodies, I realized or peacock is wrecking our couches, but then again we did not exactly give him a choice. He's used to perching on couches. My plan is to create some sort of long heavy duty perch, but nothing else occurred to me but using four byfours on some sort of base or buying a... -
