I am brand new to peafowl. I have a 6 year old IB cock that was given to me. I have since (in the past 3 weeks!) acquired 10 peachicks that are about 3 months old. I am thinking of getting a mature peahen for my 6 year old since any that are hens from my chicks won’t be mature for a couple of years. The hen I am trying to decide about is a 5 year old white. I read the peafowl genetics sticky, so I know I’d have to know the parentage of the hen to know what I would get for chicks. My main concern is the age of the peahen. Until what age do peahens continue to lay productively? This peahen is a good layer and was a breeder this past season. Thanks!
