thanks guys!

but can any one answer my question please?

 

[MinxFox]

Oh oops sorry forgot the question after I saw the pictures!

I think your peachick would be fine if you took it outside and it was supervised but it is too small to free-range 24/7 if you were planning on doing that.

Why I say he is too small to live free-range right now 24/7 is hawks. Hawks can get small peafowl but once he is fully grown he will be fine if you were planning on free-ranging.

i was planning for him to first go in a secure outdoor pen, so he could get used to being outside, then i would move him in with the other peacocks, in the other avairy. i donnt let my peacocks free range because i live right next to a road, and i worry about them getting hit

so, does my plan sound ok?

they have always been outside but not on the ground, i put them in their ground pen 2 weeks ago and i feel much better.LOL they love it, i will be turning them loose when i think they are ready.
