Hi everyone! I am new to breeding peafowl and have some questions. I have a peacock who will be 3 years old in the spring and 2 peahens (one will be 3 years old and one will be 2 years old). I understand that I can put all 3 of them in the same pen during breeding season. My questions are...
Hi BYC Community,
This is my first time posting, and I have the classic question. Ha!
So here is a bit of the back story. I live in Mexico, and unfortunately here as in many other countries, there are a lot of strays. Ive lived here most of my life, and have a tendency to take in pretty much any...
Hey new member here... I've always wanted peafowl and just starting to raise my own... my question is, Is this one a male or female? I want to get the pair so if anyone can help me out that would be awesome... also if u can tell the color outcome I would really like that too
Hello,
I have (3) yearling spaldings, possibly Jade. I think 2 are males, and 1 is female, but as I am not familiar with this breed's characteristics, I am unsure. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
Hi
New to the forum, I've searched the internet to find out some information about our situation but I only seem to find peacock info ..
We came to a house that had 3 males and 2 females 2 years ago.. 1 male went missing a year ago and one female was killed by a fox in June.
Our remaining...

Can anyone tell me...
Peacock Experiment, Part Deux...
The peahens laid their eggs about 4 weeks ago, and we've been on chick watch for last three days (counted 28 days from the time they started setting on the eggs). How long do we wait to start rousting and checking eggs? Also, both hens decided to split eggs...
Hi!
I want to learn about peafowl, so maybe later on I can hatch some.
1. First of all, I am pretty sure they are, but are male pefowl aggressive?
2. Are males only the ones with the pretty coloring?
3. How big do they get?
4. What do they eat?
5. Can they fly? Would I have to clip their wings...
I'm Ashlee, and I actually don't own fowl, the most I own that is actually a bird is a peach faced lovebird named Jojo. I also own a 20 gallon tetra and angelfish tank, a 5 gallon tank (that'll soon have a snail and some shrimp) with a betta named Vitbi , and a nine year old yorkie named Reeses...
A peahen showed up at my place. I am not aware of any near neighbors who keep peafowl, and I posted on a neighborhood social media page with no response. She has been here over a month. I don't want her to be lonely with just chickens here, so I purchased a male and female peachick to grow up...
? Boy meets girl ?
I have been raising my peachicks, and today I noticed my white chick jump on top of another chick, grab its head and start, um, "going to town." The chicks are just over a month old... I had my fingers crossed that the white would be a boy. Is this a good sign, or do they...
Hi all! My name's Coral and I am brand new to the pefowl world. We had a peahen show up in our yard about a week ago and she hasn't left yet! She stays pretty close to the property and seems to really enjoy our grass and bug selection. I don't know much about her and have been doing a little...
Hello,
We are raising 22 guinea keets and 4 peafowl, all of which are only 1 month old. They are in our house right now, in separate cages (guinea in one, peas in the other). We converted a horse stall into a coop for the birds, all enclosed with chicken wire to keep predators out. We raise...
Greeting to all the Fowl Farmers out there. My name is Carol and I live in Montana. I am new at hatching out eggs in my incubator. I joined BYC a year ago but I haven't visited this increadible site very often.
I raise sheep and have a few chickens, 1 Peacock, 2 geese, 2 turkeys, 1 guinea, 3...
Do Opal, Bronze, Peach and other color variants still show the same barring that Blue do? I know Black Shoulder is a whole different set of rules, but for "regular" Non-BS colors do the same basic barring rules apply? I cannot find many pictures, or accurately labeled pictures, of peachicks in...
These eggs have been claimed! Thank you!
So, I am not turning on my incubator this year (I tested eggs with a friend instead) and I just got back from a 2-week vacation and while I had someone come pick up the eggs from the first week, there are a couple dozen unclaimed eggs from 6/4 to today...
