Show off your Peas!

I have thought of adding a run on the other side of coop for the pheasant/peafowl.

This would be the best way to go because you well most likely end up with wee peas and you will need more room

And overcrowding leads to sickness.

I keep a pair of peafowl with my ducks. I have a pair of call ducks and a pair of mandarins. I have sand and gravel around my pond and the pen stays dry and clean. BUT the ducks do make a mess in the peas water so I have to change it often. I did put a water pan up on a log where the peas could reach it but the call ducks couldn't.....but the Mandarins fly up there. Now I'm making an automatic nipple/cup waterer. The ducks won't be able to reach it and water will stay clean for my peas.
I have places for the ducks to hide. Everyone gets along most of the time, but this breeding season the peas chased the ducks bad!
I am raising the two Peachicks I hatched inside. I worried about them drowning in the pond as babies, so took the eggs from mom before hatch.

Sounds like a good idea but the peas will still drink from the dirty water the only way to stop that is to not have it where they are.just sayen.

I dont think this many animals in my pen will lead to illness?

The peafowl will be the first to let you know if this is true or not , i would not chance it they are way to delicate. just sayen,
They are your birds you can do what you choose , but many folks here have dealt with so many pea ailments that we all have become a bit paranoid about their environment.
