    I’ve got one peahen and a peacock and have had them penned up in a shed with a chicken mesh door, I don’t know how to introduce them to my chicken, ducks, and Guinea fowl. I tried a while ago to introduce a peacock but after leaving him out of the shed, he hid underneath some trees and was away...

    Need Advice Peacock can’t use legs.

    Today someone brought me a peacock that is about 3 months old. It can’t stand or walk and never has since birth. It seems pretty healthy otherwise. I know nothing about them, I have emailed my vet but wanted to check here to see if there’s any recommendations or if y’all have seen this before...

    Peacock lice?

    Hi. My mother and I just adopted a baby peacock today and I noticed tiny white bugs all over it’s face. They’re very small and go near the eye. They’ll burrow into the fur and leave tiny white particles (what I think might be eggs) on the strange of fur. I’m super concerned. I’ve done some...

    Rejected Chick

    There was a lost chick in my yard today. I think he must have been recently hatched because I found a peahen laying a nest on the other side of the fence. I brought him to her and she hissed. I tried putting him under her feathers but she keeps pecking him. The chick won't stop running to me...

    Peacock body language?

    I'm sorry if this has been covered. I searched the forums, but with keywords I've used, there were no results. My peacock is 4 years old and was hand-raised by the folks who gave him to us. We also have 2 peahens who are 3 this year. My peacock, Argos, is very sweet and loves to be near us. He...

    Does anybody know why he's moving like this?

    Greetings, all! We have an "elderly/ geriatric" aged Peacock (they cannot tell exactly how old he is. He was wild, he got injured so we took him in). We recently took him to the vet, and they said he has pretty bad arthritis in his feet/legs/wings. We are giving him a weekly shot, as well as...

    How to tame a peachick/peahen/peacock

    Hiya, I'm currently looking for suggestions on how to tame my White Peahen (Hera) and my India blue Peacock (Hercules). They were both semi-tame when I let them loose to roam our farm, where I could pet them, but now they've become quite distant and reluctant for me to pet or hold. Does...

    Congo peafowl?

    Hello! I have been going down a rabbit hole looking into Congo peafowl (Afropavo congensis). These birds seem wonderful, but am sad to see they are on the IUCN Readlist vulnerable species list.

    How old might my peacock be?

    Hi all. We took in an abandoned pair of peafowl last week and think they’re quite young, but aren’t really sure. We’re anxiously awaiting next spring to see how many eggs the hen may lay, but as for the peacock, he appears to only have a single eyespot on each side. If I had to guess, I’d say...
