New Member with Peafowl Experience

[FarmerGreenNC]

Hi All...I am a new member with a lot of years experience in raising peafowl. I enjoy helping people with questions about peafowl. I have a free range peahen who has just started sitting on a nest with 3 eggs. I live in the country so I am very concerned with predators getting her during the night...That's how I found this site. I know that peahens do NOT like their nest disturbed.So moving her into an enclosed pen is not an option...she will abandon her eggs. Luckily she has her nest about 15 ft from my front door. I have a security camera pointed at her and a motion sensor light. I also have a very good dog who is protective of all my outdoor birds. If the light comes on or I see something I can let him out and he will be on it in seconds flat. That's about all I can do to keep her safe.
I'm glad to be on the site and I hope everyone has good luck with all their birds and hatches this year. Anyone with any peafowl questions I will try to help out with answers. Thank You.

Welcome to BYC! I, too, found BYC when looking for information about peafowl almost 13 years ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Your birds are beautiful? What colors do you have?
