Has anyone had an interspecies coop with peafowl?

[Peafowl4midwest]

I am wondering if anyone has experience with putting a peacock in with chickens or a turkey etc? I lost my peahen this summer to an owl attach and have not been able to find a new hen, the few I have seen they are asking over 700, that is sadly out of my budget. I don't want my cock to be alone forever (now that we can't free range) and had considered re-homing him but he was pretty beat up when I got him and I'm not sure he fairs well in competitive settings.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Where are you at? I sell hens for half of that price.

I see you are in Nebraska, I have a customer coming down from there Saturday to get a Peach hen.

never mix peafowl and chickens

Our peacocks sleep in our large coop with the chickens when the weather is bad. They’re also in pasture everyday with geese and turkeys as well as the chickens.
We’ve had this arrangement going on for close to 4 years now without issue. Occasionally during mating season the peacocks will chase the roosters but they never actually fight. They just do a lot of circling each other.

However, when we have peachicks we keep them separated for the first three months (due to the fragility of the peachicks immune system).

* I should add our coop is very large and our birds all free range during the day so they are not in close quarters together.

I have a mixed flock - peafowl, turkeys, chicken and pheasants. All together. Live happy, eat together, sleep together... And I have strange 'couples'... A bantham rooster with a girlfriend turkey, a Brahma pullets with a boyfriend pheasant, and other weidies..

What about mixing with ducks?

I really do not like the idea of keeping peas with waterfowl. Ducks make an awful mess of the water and peas will drink it and cause more problems with worms and bacterial infections.

Ours are separated in their own coops but there is one chain link fence wall (with hardware cloth on the bottom part) separating them. The ducks free range on our property during the day. My hope is to have our peafowls free range as long as it’s safe for them.
