How much are these peafowl worth?

[Birdrain92]

How much would my peacock be worth and
About what age does he look like the males train is long.I barley got them yesterday and the man
Who I bought them of off didnt know beacause they where a friends.thanks for any help.

Looks like an Indian Blue split to Black Shoulder about 3 or 4 years maybe older. In my area you would be lucky if you got $75 for him. Most go for about $35-50 here in Idaho. Other places would pay $150 at least for him.

I don't know what kind of market you have in AZ. You might get $75 for each, might get $150 for each. When they get close to laying hens will look like this.

Sorry but another question will a peahen make her own nest or do I need to make her own?

They will make a nest with the materials given. They tend to nest in corners.

As Birdrain said not much is needed maybe some hay basically, she'll dig a shallow hole and then pull debris around her. As for making a nest, she will not pick up twigs and carry them to a spot like tree birds do, some peahens will use a large nest box if its available at least mine do.Keep us posted.
