When you decide to free-range start with only letting one bird out at a time and let it back in with the others in the evening. Only feed inside the pen.

Make the pen as big as space and budget can afford. Make sure the roof is covered because they will fly out if it isn't. As for free ranging to sum it up never free range a bird that you're not prepared to lose. Peafowl are very accident prone and dogs, coyotes, foxes, large owls, angry neighbors with guns, cars, and coons take their toll.

Will the birds come back to roost at night like chickens. We are building a pen but would like to allow them to roam a bit to eat and explore.

They might at first but after awhile they will just sleep outside in trees or on roofs at night.
