i had a peahen show up and decide to live here. I think she needs a round of debugging. She has little bumps on her head and now one on her face. Any protocol for treating a wild fowl? She’s a great friend! She sleeps in trees at night and is mostly self contained. She does love a little kitty...
I have a free-range 2 yr old peacock. I went out of town for three nights and my mom came to feed all of our animals. I have been getting home at dark trying to feed all the animals and running in to get myself and the kids ready for bed. Tuesday night I realized I hadn’t seen Pete the last two...
Okay, I’ve given them some time to grow a little more and now have more pictures of my peacocks/hens/its lol. We have 1-Lacey 2-Blue 3-Kevin and 4- no name yet. No idea if they’re male or female but the names will remain probably maybe haha.
A peacock came up to our house about 2 months ago and has stayed here ever since. We began feeding him food we bought at our local feed store and also giving him water. About a week ago, we began noticing that he opened his mouth frequently to breath. A few days later it appeared that he was...

We talked about peafowl but never thought of owning one until around a month ago when we were out finishing feeding the horses, we looked down the barn drive and there was a large bird. At first we thought it was a wild turkey taking a walk about but as we walked up the drive it was a peacock...
What do you call a peacock strut?
I tried looking it up, but the subject is apparently very common regarding men, and that's just awkward. The sticky post "Behavior" section is still in construction and incomplete since 2013.
Thank you.
We have recently moved to Grenada and acquired 1 peacock & peahen. We picked them up 2 days ago with 1 egg.
Yesterday there were 2 more eggs.
We have secured them in a shaded area
My questions are:-
How long do we need to keep them secured prior to letting them roam free? How would I know if the...

He chased one geese off the property and the poor thing was near death and blinded when we found him,
We also had two ducks and they "mysteriously" disappeared. I think he...

Hey everyone!! I'm interested in eventually having peafowl and I'm just curious as to what are good gender ratios and if you can have males around each other or if they have to be separated at all times. The idea is to have my entire property fenced in and have all my birds (chickens, turkeys...
A few weeks ago I notice my almost 3 year old peacock limping. He free ranges so I planned to check on him later that evening when I would be able to catch him. All I could tell was he had a small scrape on his "hock" area and seeing Peas heal quickly I was not too concerned. By the next day he...
