Adopted by Peafowl

[BrianBird]

Hello! I live in a rural area and have 5 Peafowl that have moved on to my property for several days now and don't seem to want to leave. My neighbors and animal control know of no one that has reported missing them and it's been through the neighborhood email chain as well. Animal control was unable to catch them and scared them off but they returned. If no one claims them I will keep them and would like to know how to care for them and build them a suitable coop. They can be free range here, but would need protection from predators and the elements. There are 5 of them and it appears at least one is a male.

Hope that works out for you. The Peafowl forum will have folks that can give you the best advice, they also could ID for variety & gender.
