I was really hoping those IB's were hens, the 2 obvious cocks (the one you pointed out in the front and the rightmost one, who looks like his twin) appear to be something far more exotic, but I'm not sure what. The small one in the center has never changed colors much, but the other 3 looked...

Here is a pic of all 6 of the peafowl. I have lots more pics, including close ups of any that are still in doubt. Anyone want to share an opinion about which ones are hens? If anyone can tell me anything about what they will look like, that's great too, but I think every variety is gorgeous...

All my peas are confined and the chickens are free ranging (and some in coops). I haven't had a problem with blackhead yet and we did free range some turkeys a while ago. They ran with the chickens and could certainly have been affected, but we never had a problem with that. Two were run down by...

I keep the chickens away from the turkeys and the peas, for just that reason. I am not aware of how guineas fit into the blackhead (and other diseases) scenario, I suppose I should ask the "guinea people" about that.

That's good information. Right now they are all in a 24 x 24 aviary with a 4 x 12 separate shelter. There are also 4 turkeys in there, but that's just for the winter. I am hoping to build another (similar size) in the spring to move the peacocks into. They will be one year old next summer, so...

Is it more likely to work with 3 or 4 males than just 2? In chickens, I've had more success with a bunch of roosters together than with just 2. Seems like having more spreads out the aggression and prevents one from getting the brunt of the damage. If I do end up with extra males, I'm just...

I'm new to keeping peafowl. We have 6 that were hatched last summer and I think we may have only one hen. If that is the case, can I separate 1 pair and leave the other 4 males together? Will they hurt each other as they mature, of co-exist as a bachelor group? The roosters (chickens) I've...
