I was just coming on here cause my new peacock just tried to attack my face. The owner we bought him from said he was aggressive but always had him caged up. We weren't sure if maybe it was due to him being caged with someone coming into his area and felt threaten. He is 5 years old and we have 4 hens 2-4 years old. Our hens free range and usually stay in the upper part of the barn. We kept him caged up and after about a week my FIL decided to let him loose even though he should be kept caged for 2 months. Our youngest hens we had in the cellar for the winter and put the cage up in the barn during the Spring last year and let them out a couple days later and they stayed with the hens. The male has been out for 4 days and been fanning his tails and the females are interested in him. He roosts in the barn at night but usually not as high as the hens. I went out today with some bread since I seen him walking around the front of the barn and tossed pieces near the barn opening. He ate them and came up towards me. I backed up and went over by the horses and he ate some pieces he missed. While petting the horses I turn and he is 4 feet from me and I back up (kept facing him) and he went into the horse pen. One of the horses was trying to kick him so I was running back and forth with grass to keep her mind off of him but he was following me and the horse also. Finally he got out and I grabbed some more grass and went up into the barn (area he usually struts at), dropped the grass and was going to walk around to the other barn door. Well I catch a glimse of him over my shoulder and he ran into the barn, jumped up to shoulder height, but luckily I turned so he missed my face, and I ran out of the barn and he started to follow me. I've been attacked by geese, baby muscovy duck, roosters, turkey, and now him. The turkey I thought was the scariest cause he wouldn't back down but now it is the peacock. The turkey luckily couldn't jump face height. I'm not sure what to do with him. My SIL's husband was bringing the four-wheeler back and pulled up to the barn and the peacock fanned his tail and acted like he was going to attack him and the four-wheeler. Doesn't seem like anything scares him. I was thinking that maybe after the hens lay eggs and start sitting to catch him and cage him up. I don't know if he only attacked me cause I was in his and his hens area or if he was going to attack me outside of the barn also. Should I try to get something to wave around to make me look larger to try and scare him? I know he wasn't afraid of the horse walking towards him. The guy we bought him from did have another male is why he wanted to get rid of him cause of them fighting.
