Peafowl with other Poultry

[NickGT]

Hello, I am adding a pair of peafowl to my flock tomorrow. I currently have 2 turkey hens. Does anyone know if they can co exist and the biggest question I have is if the turkey droppings or litter in that pen can be harmful to peafowl. Reason I ask cause I know certain fowl like ducks can carry worms and stuff more easily through their droppings since they dig in the dirt and mud.

Nevermind I don’t think Pyxis has Peafowl. My vote is they should not be kept with Turkeys

We got rid of all our turkeys because of the extra worm and blackhead load they add. We loved our turkeys but even in a free range situation the extra threat of illness transferring to the peafowl was too hard to deal with. From a monetary standpoint, a $35 turkey compared to a $300 pea was a no brainer.
