peahen lay without male?

[Birdman18]

Hi,

My neighbor has a peahen, and just wanted to know come spring could the peahen lay eggs without a male,like how chickens do?

Thanks!

Yes, they just won't hatch if she sets them.

good eggs for a project or crafts though

Depends on how old the peahen is, if she is 2 yrs old or older she will.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I didn't know they could lay without males present. Would it be possible you think for a male pheasant to mate with a female peahen?, since pheasants are in the peafowl family.

Thanks
