Show off your Peas!

That would be a lot of birds for that size pen.....

I would not put peas and duck together for any length of time, ducks make a mess of water and peas are do susceptible to illnesses that it would just not make a good mix from my experiences with them.

I free range all my different kinds of birds together and i have a couple ponds for them but i keep water out all the time because i always have some kind of baby running around that can not make it to the ponds to drink and i change that water at least 3 times a day in the winter and doubled that in the summer because the ducks and geese make a mess of it.

Well because my pond is man made I always keep the water a little lower so water does not get anything wet around it. I dont know do you think that many birds would be too many? I have someone who might be buying 10 of my quail, and the doves are inside right now. I'm new to this so I dont know.

I don't think it sounds like too many birds for the area. My concern would be with the ducks pooping in the water as ducks like to do, the other birds will be drinking that water, even if you put waterers in they will drink from the source you don't want them to, never fails. Also Peas are big and if they decided to take offense at one of the smaller birds they could really hurt it, best to make sure there are some good safe hiding places for those smaller guys.

Ok, Good well the area next to the pond lengthwise will have miniature evergreen trees so they can go their. I will have a water under their for the quail but I will have hanging waterers for the peaowl and pheasants. I still dont know with this many birds all together will be a good idea

The little birds can go underneath the evergreens if the peas have a bully moment.

I don't like smart phones either. I like slide phones with the key board on it. Yesterday there was a Poultry show that I showed at called the Idaho Bird Breeder Association show or IBBA show it was amazing.

Congrats and yeah I have a slide phone with a keyboard too. I don't understand why everyone wants the ones that are all touch screen. I don't really like touch screen stuff. I like buttons better and using the keyboard is faster for me to do. I make too many mistakes using the touch screen keyboard.

I don't have experience with keeping more than 1 bird variety in a pen, but from what I have seen what works for some people will not always work for others. I would have an extra pen or an area that can be closed off just incase if one bird or several get too picked on. Destinduck keeps peafowl in an aviary with ducks and a little concrete pond. He always fills the aviary with fresh sand to keep it clean and fairly dry. I am not sure if he gets on here much anymore, but he has experience penning peafowl and ducks together. I am not sure what kind of pheasants you are planning on having, but often I hear that the golden pheasants do well sharing a pen with peafowl.

Ducks can muddy things up, so your peacock's train might get messy...depending on if they create a lot of mud. I would not get a white peacock and a white peahen that is for sure!

You might consider adding on another run, I wouldn't be comfortable with that variety of birds especially the dirty ducks. Also be aware of hanging feeders/waterers. Peas fly and don't always steer clear of wires and can hurt themselves.
