Peahen and Chick Advice?

[Annika514]

Hello! We just brought home a peahen and a chick (see my other thread for help on sexing this babe). We inherited 2 grown peacocks when we bought our home last fall, and they are just free roaming. We have the Hen and Chick in our peacock enclosure for a few weeks. Any advice or anything I need to be aware of while acclimating these new members of our flock? I have double checked that the wire around the enclosure is secure, I'm so paranoid that they will try to run...and It is as safe as can be from predators...any additional safeguarding? Being so new at this is nerve racking! Our other peacocks have been at the property for years so I haven't worried about them but new mamma and baby I feel so responsible for! Thanks for any pointers!

At the top of the Peafowl page are some 'Stickies Topics' there you will find a lot of very useful information on housing, feeding, and care for peafowl. Every new pea owner needs to read them.
