New to Peafowl!

[AyamSiriusBlack]

Hi! I just got 2 Peafowl from a friend who could not have them anymore. I have them penned up right now (in a 15 ft by 30ft run) and they will be for a while to get them acclimated to my house. I also have many chickens that I just built a very large chicken coop and run for. The peafowl will have to live with the chickens at least for the winter. I just don't know much about them! What are you feeding yours? Any health concerns? What's the best way to introduce everyone? Etc etc... All the things that I need to know. Thank you in advance.

Blue is Esteban the male and the green is Haley. I have the Peafowl in the run and my chickens can go in and out of the coop and are fenced in with premier one fencing.

You have a very nice set up for your birds. Good luck with the peafowl.

That is quite the coop and run! Check out the Stickies Index on the top of the Peafowl page for threads on care and maintenance, all the basic stuff can be found there. That is a nice Spaulding hen you have.

the male also appears to be a low percentage spalding.

What is the stickies index? I'm still new to back yard chickens.

Go back one page to the topics list and look at the topics pinned to the top of the page. It will read 'Stickies Topics'. It will take you to a list of threads about care, housing, maintenance, and medications.

Very nice coop and run I raised pea fowl in the past.
