I've got a 4yo purple bs hen that has started to display like a peacock. I lost my peacock a couple of months ago, so most of the summer I just had 2 hens. It was either just before or after I got another peacock that she started doing this. He's still separated. She seems to be doing it mostly to threaten other fowl away from the food dish. Does this mean anything?
 
Duh! Thanks. I've only had her a year and didn't notice or think anything about it until someone was over and thought she was a young cock, and then I was worried because I was afraid there might be something wrong with her. These are the first peafowl I've had, so i'm a real newbie with them.
 
Yep they all do it around here.

The pics are adorable. My only baby was hatched & raised with chicks & keets, I don't think he knows he's a peacock.
