Peafowl can be freerange unlike pheasants, right. And will they go broody and hatch there own chicks? thanks

Yes they can but each bird is different.

From what I have read and seen at other breeder's places, free range peahens do go broody and hatch chicks a lot of the time and I have a peahen in a pen who hatched out all three of her eggs and is a wonderful mother. She searches for bugs every day in the pen to give her peachicks and protects them from the other peahen who sometimes picks on the chicks. Peafowl can be free-ranged but they need to be penned a little while before you turn them lose.
