How old is he? my young ones mate with hens and stuffed animals too

The mating will not result in a fertilized egg. The genes will not match up, and even if the egg became fertilized, the resulting offspring would not be able to survive. The peacock must be a real pervert!!! LOL

They are walking .... so they live ! ... cross between peacock and guinea .

@jhm47 - It can result in a fertilized egg. Just look at this topic: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/777160/peacock-x-chicken-hybrid

Here is a photo from that topic of "Twisted Sister" a peafowl X Chicken hybrid. Now, generally hybrids like these don't live for many years, maybe around 3-4, and I am sure they are sterile.


This is very rare of course, but possible.

Not a pervert as far as peacocks go, zaz has great photos of her males mating with all sorts of things, makes a Cochin look pretty tame. Not likely to have viable offspring, but significantly higher chance than the stuffed animals that the boys are having their way with at zaz's place

Hi guys

My bantam roosters mate with my big fancy pigeon hens. The hens just sit as if they want it. What can come of this?
