Quail and peafowl?

[Vaughnr007]

Hey, how's it going for everybody? Thinking of raising some jumbo coturnix quail. I have an aviary 50' x 50' with sheds attached. I already have 2 pairs of peafowl in it. The question is can I turn the quail loose with the peafowl? Of course I would add covering for the little guys to hide. Has anybody had experience with this proposal?

I have zero experience with peafowl, but can't they be quite aggressive? I think there's a good chance they would bully/kill quail. The general advice I've seen is not to house anything bigger than the quail with the quail.

I hope you get a reply from someone who has peafowl, but personally, I wouldn't. Even if they aren't aggressive towards the quail, they could injure or kill them by accident.
