Please tell me this isn't a baby peacock

Yeah I don't even know at this point. I posted about this previously, my friend has some very nice chickens and she let me burrow a few eggs to put under my broody buff orpington hen. I grabbed some eggs out of her very tiny, very small little nesting box. I have literally no idea how their female peacock managed to fit into it and lay her eggs in there. They were a little bigger than normal sized chicken eggs but she does have some very big hens so I didn't think much of it at the time. Now, I'm like 99% sure I grabbed peacock eggs. This is a peacock chick, isn't it? I honestly don't even know what to say at this point.

I will take better pictures when I can. This is the only one that has hatched so far. Mama does not like me touching him/her.

haha thank you. It sure is adorable. I am in love with the little guy.

Congrats, it's cute.

I feel so dumb right now, but at the same time, this feels like the exact kind of thing that would happen to me. I don't even know the first thing about peacocks.

Haha want a neat surprise!

doesn't look like a chicken to me - if it makes you feel any better that sort of stuff happens to me too!

I've heard peacocks make better guard dogs then guard dogs lol

I got chicken eggs mixed up with duck if it makes you feel better.

Just as a disclaimer - I'm not serious about that!
