To cage or free range

[jjpeacock]

I'm new to the peacock world. Have an opportunity to adopt a male & female brother & sister. I have 10 acres with neighbors all around. I have 2 acres around the house with 7.5ft deer fencing. I would love to have them be free but what are the chances they will stay in the 2 acres? We have Hugh pine trees & oaks on the property. The fenced area is full of flowers and other landscape. 2 waterfalls. No lawn.
Neighbors have dogs and other animals. Have a few coyotes and bobcats that I've seen on occasion. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I am not at all familiar with keeping Pea Fowl. You might want to post this question in our Pea Fowl section and chat with those Pea experts on this....https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/51/peafowl

Enjoy these lovely birds and welcome to our flock!

Thank you. Didn't realize there was different sections.

Now and then I have checked out threads on pea fowl. I think a lot of people have large fenced areas for them with covers, so they cannot fly away. They really know their stuff are share their experiences. Welcome to Back yard chickens.

Yah. Thnx. I'm learning a lot from the 'peacock' people.
