Alright, So before I ask any other questions.. Is it worth it? I'm just getting into breeding poultry and so far i've got all sorts of chicken breeds, Ducks, Geese, Ornamental pheasants, turkeys, and guineas. And now i'm really wanting some peafowl.. Will I make a profit breeding these birds? I plan on just shipping eggs, But the thing is, I know nothing about peafowl. What should I feed them? What should I house them in? What breeds are most popular and will make me the most money?
Are they expensive to raise?
For housing I plan on building an enclosed run that's about 80 ft long and 40 ft wide (10 ft tall) and a coop that's about 12 x 10.. How many peafowl do you think that could hold? I was thinking about starting out with just 4.
What should the chicks and adults be fed? I'm completely clueless on that subject..
Whats a good ratio?
Do they need any special treatment..?
If you have any other advice on raising peafowl I'd love to hear it~!
