Can peafowl free range with other poultry birds?

[Cassandragrenr]

They'll have their own enclosure to sleep in during the night, but I want to have them to have access to free ranging with my other birds! Would that be okay?

Our peafowl run loose all the time, along with a few guineas, a few ducks and a dozen chickens. Each seems oblivious to the other species when thay are foraging, roosting or just hanging out. But, when the communal dinner is served it's pandamonium and there's a pecking order. Any guinea or the rooster will make a peafowl back away from the feed. A peafowl will stand up to one chicken hen, but two or three hens will make it back away. The ducks are at the bottom and do not get to eat until everyone else is full or has wandered off. The only way to target feed our peafowl or ducks is to stand guard with a water sprayer to keep the chickens and guineas away. It's time consuming and we need a better system.

Maybe feed them at different places? Feed them in the order of the pecking order, so roosters/guineas first and then lastly ducks. Do you have different coops for them or do they all live in the same? If there's different coops you could maybe put the food in there instead.
I'm no expert though, don't take my word for it haha

We have a dozen pens of various sizes but mostly small. Each pen has its permanent residents. But the peafowl, guineas, quasi-fral ducks and quasi-feral chickens free range 24/7. They all watch for the feed bucket to appear, start jockying for position, and stay on alert until it is put away. Like I said, we need a better system or, better yet, fewer mouths to feed.

As long as your guineas don't beat him up or drive him off they should all get along well. It is when you pen multi-species together that you can have potential problems with disease and worms.
