I have two Peacocks and two Peahens. Haven't seen to much of the hens lately. I figure they must be setting on some eggs.
While the Chicks away the birds will play.
I've noticed one of the Peacocks have taken a shine to a wild turkey hen I've seen often lately in the pasture. She mostly always in the same area. I figured she has some eggs around there too.
So two questions.

One: They don't crossbred do they?
Two: Seems I read maybe here that the Peacock will sometimes fly off with turkeys. That O'course is my main concern.

Do I need to take any action to keep my bird?
 
When my friend moved to his farm many years ago, he was frequently visited by a large flock of wild turkeys that had several peafowl running with them. I am not certain as to whether or not they can crossbreed.
