WANTED: Peachicks or suggestions for a friend for our Peacock

[NMinard]

We recently acquired a Peacock (about 2 weeks ago). Indigo is just under a year old (I think?). I don't want him to get lonely all by himself. Was thinking of getting a peachick or two. Or if anyone has any suggestions of another bird. (Type of chicken perhaps?) Would prefer a peachick though. I am located in Milan, Michigan. Any one close with peachicks or something that will keep him company let me know!!

Your bird Looks like an India Blue peacock. He is at least 3 years if he has train feathers in picture 2. Buying a peachick will not help him. Next year when breeding season starts he will be chasing the year old hen everywhere to get her out of his pen cause she is not old enough to breed. Some hens lay eggs at 2 years old but mine only laid a few each. 3 years is breedable age. You can go to the UPA website and click onto the breeder link and locate the nearest breeder by you and see if you can find a 2 year old hen for sale or check craig's list. A 2 year old hen will be 3 by next season

3 really? Wow. He doesn't have a log train. Just a few feathers about 12 inches or so long. Like the starting of his train. I wasn't sure of the age, because he has so man pin feathers I assumed. Though when I got him he was full of lice! Now that I treated that, even more pin feathers are coming in! I'll have to look around.

I have a year old India Blue Pied hen. She will be 2 next spring. I had one 2 year old hen lay about 15 eggs with a high fertility. Let me know if you are interested.

I don't know if you still want a peachick, but bugbeth74 has a 8 week unsexed India blue for $75, shipping $70. Good luck!
