Trying to introduce two 4 month old juveniles to the parent couple so I can keep them all in the same pen. Momma bird starts jumping and pecking the kids! Father just ignores them. Any suggestions!
 
I don't know much about Peafowl, but when I introduced baby chickens to a hen, she pecked at them a little at first too. She was fine after a bit though.
Best suggestion is take the chicks out and introduce them again slowly, say through a wire fence or something.
 
I'd keep them separate until they are older.
When would you let them out to free range with the turkeys? I have A lavender pair if Turkey's they are raised with, the same age. I just worry about them getting killed by a hawk> I put them up at night but I don't know if the peachicks would go back into their pen to roost. I have a tall barn they may fly up there because I know they like to roost high! they let me pet them and they will sit on my arm but they don't like their wings confined. so... if i let them out they may not go back up. They are my babies and I don't want to risk them but I also don't want to confine them if they should be out!
