Male IB joining the rest of my free range flock

[gmiller]

Hi everyone!
I currently have four peahens and one male free range. 2 of the hens have babies and one of the hens is my caged males mate. (She always escapes thru a tree in their pen somehow so I just let her out) anyways I want to let the other male out but am worried about the fighting also worried my free range male will drive the other off. They always hang out around the caged male. Should I just let him out and see what happens?

You never know until you try it all birds are different and will respond differently. Considering he will have a ton more space to roam and is use to the area I would not think he would fly away and I imagine there is brush and trees around that he can hide in if the other male wants to fight so I say go ahead give it a go!

Peacocks are gregarious animals ... the group holds them!They need the band!
The breeding season is over ... everything is calm!
In addition they are moulting!
There will be some shots because a peacock locked up that is seen every day by free peacocks when it is released the other peacocks don't see it the same way!
