We saw the chicks today and they looked like a cross between a white and IB possibly one was a light tan the others looked like IB

With IBs you may be able to start telling their gender at around three months of age.

My husband would like to put the peachicks in with our male qhen we get them the chicks will be about 4 or 5 wreks old. I am not sure will they be safe with him or should we keep them seprate?

You should not put them together. At that age they still need supplemental heat, and they are are extremely prone to coccidiosis. They need to be eating a medicated chick starter, and most people who raise peafowl won't put peachicks on the ground until they are three months old at least.

Ok thank you we will have a set up for them.

I got 3 chicks and had them in with my male they were getting along great then one night all 3 chicks disappeared there were no feathers or body parts in the pen and the pen is completely enclosed could it be a predator or were they stolen?

 

[Pyxis]

What is your pen like? What is is made out of? Are the walls made of hardware cloth?
