What do your peafowl eat?

Oh ok. If you were to say that they crack open the peanut shells, I was ready to get out my video camera and tape them doing this. Never saw this before.

Thanks

We use a 20% feed. Also we offer sunflower seeds, cracked corn, and cat food as treats and supplements. Occasionally we will give them bread as a treat also. They like bread quite a bit. Younger birds tend to like an occasional moistened treat too.

I'm confused on the age of peafowl and when do peachicks grow in to being "adults"? At what age is a peafowl considered an adult bird?

When do you change feeding peafowl game bird "starter" to game bird "grower"? At what age? What should 6 month old peafowl eat? starter or grower?

Thanks for all of your help.

Body wise about a year, breed at 2 yr. Full color and train 3 yr.

After 3 months a good 20 to 24% grower is what i use
