HELP!!! Any tricks on getting peafowl to go in their coop at night?

[ChickaPea2014]

Basic bird math:

Peacock + peahen = peachicks x (many)

Bird multiplication. [Remember from math class, "multiplication" is simply repeated addition

]

Peafowl + feed = peaowner minus $$$ [Repeated subtraction, also happens at the vet, not just the feed store]

Recall from math class, repeated subtraction = division

As a result of subtraction, then many peachicks ------->>>> new homes [Bird division]

That's the best thing I've seen all day and so true!

Same here got to keep them to keep the ticks ate up and they do make great dog food as do the roosters the hens here raise up, last time downsized my guinea flock it was so quite i actually missed them, the geese not so much they like to get up close and personal and honk in my ear.

Ok, I'll bite.... why, oh why, do you require guineas?

Insufficient aggravation otherwise?

Grasshoppers, many many grasshoppers... without them it is like the plague of locust.

Okay, I can see putting up with guineas to manage the grasshoppers. They were exceptionally bad here this year, to the point that they showed up as massive floating clouds on the weather radar (which caused a LOT of confusion until the weather guys figured it out), and you couldn't step in any direction without running into them. They were littering the streets, parking lots, sidewalks and of course yards and vacant lots and .... everywhere. It was definitely plague-sized. I dunno why the seagulls didn't show up...

Not only grasshoppers & ticks, but they also chow down on box elder bugs. The muscovies take care of a good % of the mosquito population, so to me (i live in a wooded area) they are also necessary.

Well, that would be enough, I suppose, for me to rethink my opposition to them. They kinda fell out of favor with me after the neighborhood flock (not my birds) was tearing the daylights out of my yard, and wreaking havoc on the alfalfa (mine and other people's...) They were pretty destructive, and didn't stick around enough to make a dent in the bugs...

I haven't seen a grasshopper in years.
