Lonely Pea Hen

[chickadee mamma]

We recently moved to some acreage and were stunned to find three pea fowl (2 males 1 female) roaming wild with a flock of wild turkeys. Its been a rough winter and both males are gone leaving the female alone with the turkeys. When there were three, the turkeys were just fine with the pea fowl but now they seem to be pushing this last female out. They won't let her eat she roosts by herself. Is there anything I can do for her? She does let me feed her. Should I just stay out of it and let nature take it's course? She's obviously not domesticated.

Keep feeding her and maybe she will stay around. If she does then look for a cock to keep her company.

That's how we got our first peahen she just showed up on our farm one day out of nowhere! She liked it at our farm and decided to stay when she had food and water she could depend on.
