[Peacocks Fly Free]

Hi again, I wanted to know if there is any way to encourage a peahen to go broody?(Not to force just encourage)Any ideas?

Put a dozen chicken eggs in a nest box and see if she is enticed.

They're notoriously finicky though she might never go broody or she might take to it right away. There's really no way of knowing.

Nobody touches her eggs, move them, increase the number ... etc ...
She must see her eggs every day.
Other peahens lay in the same place ... bad.
If she always lays in the same spot, she will go broody.
She must feel safe ... calm atmosphere.

She has started laying from her roost and so far she has had two unbroken eggs and like 4 broken eggs

Pile hay under the roost to cushion the fall.
