Adopting a new peahen

[Kfoxgirl906]

Hi my name is Kimberly, I was a vet tech for 13 years and left the field to start a family. Now I have 2 kids and 3 dogs and one bird. I’m now adopting a peahen with 3 eggs. I was wandering the does and donts with peahens.

Welcome to BYC!

The first *do* on my list would be to build a predator safe enclosure for her to live in for several months because when peafowl are moved to a new location they have a tendency to wander off and get lost.
