I have a potential customer that wants to buy a hen. She tells me she has a hen that the cock ignores like she isn't there. She lays eggs, goes broody, and all eggs are clear. The five year old White cock does a fine job of mounting and mating with her goose but never the peahen. I suggested penning the two peas where he could not be distracted by other birds, especialy that goose he likes to breed.

Any other thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
 
I agree the issue might not be solved with getting another peahen. The peacock could be confused and might think that he himself is a goose or that he is supposed to mate with the goose instead of the peahen. Hopefully penning the peafowl together without the goose will help but who knows. I don't know if a peacock that hasn't learned in 5 years that he is supposed to mate with a peahen will ever learn.
