re"home" left behind peafowl

[Garden Peas]

Ok trying to find their nesting area may prove difficult for where we live. Another question. The young ones all look female...? Im guessing they are 6-7 months old about. Just wondering if it takes a while to be able to tell or not.

Rats, my phone eats the responses, dunno if what I just sent even got there
Anyway, you won't find a nest now, though they might have favorite roosting spot(s). The peahen will nest wherever she feels like it next spring/summer.
Meanwhile, if you are going to give supplemental food over the winter, be sure to put it in a place safe from predators and not near a road. Put the food out early enough in the day that they can eat and get settled in their favorite trees before the nighttime predators come out in the evening. Be aware that whatever food you put out may draw all kinds of predators seeking snacks

Mom and the girls, looking good!

Put their food out in the morning and take it away before it even starts to think about getting dark. That way you won't be drawing most predators to it.

Happy, beautiful family

You are sooo lucky!

Chicks # 1 & 3 look like they have a lot of barring?

There are also two adult males. They dont stick too close by. Usally 20 yards or less.
