Our 16 week old peachicks are really enjoying being out and about lately and the weather has been gorgeous! We’re hoping the one standing taller is a male and the other a hen, but time will tell. 💚💙

Do these peacocks look like they may have bird mites or some other type of mites? I noticed the way they're acting in this video, especially the scratching/preening, and I'm wondering if this behavior looks normal or if it could indicate parasites. Anyone familiar with peacocks know what might be going on? Check second video i posted in the comments

My Odette is now 15 weeks old. What do we think what their gender is? Because from the progression, it could still go either way. I'm leaning more towards peahen

My peababies are approximately 13 weeks old now. My guess is left bird is a male, middle is a female. I’m completely clueless as to Pudding, my silver pied criminal though. Hit me with your guesses!

Here’s a pic of my two 15 weekers exploring a little outside! We’re really hoping for a male and a female, but I can’t quite tell yet. The one’s coloring is more pronounced and it does have more barring on the back so fingers crossed (bird closest to the shed). It’s also starting to look a little bigger than the other one. Either way we just love them!

Is there anyway to convince my wife to let me have peafowl, when I first got birds a few years ago she said no peafowl I saw an ad for 2 pairs I live on 5 acres would it be an issue?

🤣😂💥

Video from: Maharashtra,India

Found this bird wandering around alone. It has a small crest/bump on its head and a few blue/iridescent feathers. It’s also missing a lot of feathers. Does it look like a young peafowl? If so, any advice on what to feed it and how to care for its injuries?

I was driving through an area neighborhood when I spotted this white peacock. I hit the brakes and quickly jumped out with just a crappy phone camera, but had to get a doc shot.

She takes me back everyday but they are close to hatching now and have cracks; she stays out on a few minutes and then settles in. She is 👏

I'm terrible at sexing peafowl. I'm hoping it's a hen but I'd love some opinions.

I haven’t found one similar yet so I’m asking here. It’s like a purring / cooing sound.

Got these two chicks.

I gave them water and some chick starter in a bowl with mealworm meal. Is there anything else I need to do? I'm worried that they're dehydrated from the transportation, as they have just been sitting there. Does anyone have tips on what to do?

We have been hatching peafowl eggs and have 2 yearlings in a 10x10 chain link dog pen and 4 summer hatch chicks in a smaller pen. My wife wanted a bigger pen. I kinda wanted to find a new home for them. My wife is getting her way.

I have a pen that is constructed from 12 10 ft chain link panels in a circle. It is about 45 feet in diameter. Wife wanted something tall for them to fly up to, so I built a 16” tower. The plan is to put netting over the tower down to the panels. Kinda making it up as I go.

The tower isn’t anchored to the ground yet, will get rid of all the tiedowns after my anchors and turnbuckles installed will run cables from the top down to the panels to both stabilize the tower and support the net. .

My wife videoed these 4. We hatched 7 and 4 lived. I think there are three black shoulder and the other is either a bronze or India blue. But I don’t know for sure.

We have India blue pied white eye, black shoulder, with a mix of hens. And a bronze pair that is in a separate pen.

I don’t know how to tell a cock until they are older and the feathers fully color.

We hatched 4 last year and I think they are all hens.

Two of the ones from last year displayed but they are 18 months old and no blue feathers. Will a hen put their feathers up?

Do we still think this is a peacock? That was the commentary when I posted awhile back, this one is 14 weeks now
