I had an unexpected visitor show up at my house/barn yesterday.. a beautiful hen ( I believe) pea fowl.. she seemed somewhat tame as she approached me when I had a cup of scratch grains i was throwing out for my chickens.. she then came over and ate with the chickens. I am unaware of how she came to be at my house.. I live in a residential allotment but have the luxury of having chickens on "country family owned land directly behind my property" so therefore there are no other homesteads in the immediate vicinity that would have pea fowl! Anyway long story short some kids that were here went to chasing after her and spooked her into the small amount of woods we have behind my and the neighbors property.. there is a fresh water spring so water will not be an issue.. I did go looking for her but no luck.. I am worried something will happen for her.. set some food out today but the darn chickens just ate it all! I have always wanted pea fowl but was afraid of the noise and sometimes roosting on porches/roofs/poof fences and figured my neighbors have put up with my chickens and roosters they would be really mad if I had peacocks!!! hoping I can find her.. !!!
