well got them and I guess all the other ones were males and went to a zoo....I believe in Arkansas or Missouri...forget which one he said....they were in great shape the one thing that I noticed on the peas was the scales on their feet seem like there elevated and not to smooth...not bad...so they are going to get the Epsom salt and ivermetic pour on treatment twice....hopefully that makes it look nicer....other then that they are great looking and I guess the guy wormed them twice a year so that's good...and he goes to pretty much all the bird swaps all over the Midwest...and had a huge place with tons of pens for each type of bird....and had a lot of ducks and all kinds of birds....so ill be getting some pheasants from him as well...he is just so low on price that most peoples prices are double to triple what this guy is asking for some of his birds....so ill save his number...and all the peafowl are sold so no more left...

Keep them in quarantine! You don't need THAT spreading through your flock

Glad they got there okay
