Can you mix chickens, white pekins and peacocks together?

[davony's chicks]

I have 31 chicks and chickens and 3 white pekins. We would love to have a peacock. Can we put peacocks with our flock?

The chickens and the ducks get along great.

Please help? Also does anybody know any peafowl breeders in Missour. We are located in central missouri near Moberly.

I have peafowl along with many other types of fowl, and all free range and get along fine. I do however house mine separately. Peafowl can be aggressive to smaller fowl in close quarters. They just have a bully gene. Also chickens can carrier blackhead disease that can make peafowl deathly ill. Many people do keep them together however with no problems, so that is a risk you have to decide to take. A good worming program is important too with mixed flocks and peafowl.

As for finding some, you can check your local craigslist or Ag sites as well as contact some of the people on this forum that might be close to you. They are worth having, especially if hand raised...IMO.
