Please help. Need info on peacocks

[FIZBIT]

Hello and goodmorning.

Last night my aunt was up in the Forrest and found a peacock and 2 peahens. The were far from civilisation. We have many people who have dumped chickens,dogs,cats and horses up there. Not sure if the peas were dumped or how they got up there.

Anyways my aunt was able to catch the cock. Needless to say i have him in my barn in a stall where I gave him water and some flock raiser.

My questions are

How to I feed him properly?

How long do I need to keep him caged before he will stick around if I let him Free range?

Will he hurt my chickens?

How aggressive are they?

Same food as your chickens ... Here maize and wheat.

How long do I need to keep him caged before he will stick around if I let him Free range?
Wait for the moult and let go when the feathers have fallen.

Will he hurt my chickens?
No !

How aggressive are they?
Peacocks 'Normal' in their head are not aggressive.
Aggressive peacocks are the peacocks that have been brought up too close to humans.
