Can Peocock force a peahen for mating ?

[KsKingBee]

yes i will give her a place to hide. but i really love to know if Poecock force a not adult peahen to mate ?

Usually not, most cocks will ignore an immature hen in a breeding pen, mine do. But if she is the only hen available in a closed pen his frustration may make him try to force himself on her. I have a free range cock that has no hen available and he will try to mate with chickens.

yes they are in a closed pen. i still didnt trust my self to try them free oneday i let the peacock out but he seems like he still need some time in the pen.
she is the only hen in the pen. also Turky hen which still 5- 6 months old.
today i see that the guinea-fowl also hiking the peahen around.

guinea-fowl is male and female and they are laying egges while i have a chicken which laying on chicken eggs and also guinea-fowl. the chicken eggs are already out but still waiting for the guinea-fowl eggs more 4 days.

and all those birds are in about closed pen indoor 3 * 2 and the outdoor is 5 *4

Too many birds in too small of an area. If you let the hen out she may run off because she is afraid of the cock. I would let the cock out, she isn't old enough to lay this year anyway.
