Anyone Want to Help Answer my Peafowl Questions?

[ButtonHoarder]

I want peafowl so bad! Here's some of my questions:

1. Can they live with chickens
2. If they can live with chickens, can they eat the same food
3. Are the females loud, or is it just males
4. How much space per bird do they need
5. Do they roost
6. How expensive are they in Canada on average

Beware, your answers will probably arise more questions!
Thanks!

1. Can they live with chickens ... YES ... Chickens stabilize peacocks they love their company!
2. If they can live with chickens, can they eat the same food .... YES
3. Are the females loud, or is it just males ... YES
4. Do they roost ... The higher ... the better ... they feel secure!

I'd love to get some from you, but unfortunately I'll have to wait until I move because they're so loud

Awesome! So, if I kept them with chickens, would the males... with the female chickens, try anything? And if so, would they hurt them?

There is at least one documented crossing of a Pea and a chicken that was famous on the internet that was called Chickpea. It is extremely rare.

Ok, so I wouldn't have to worry about them hurting my chickens?
