Tell me what you know about Peacocks, I think I want some.

Hi, I am thinking of getting one or two peacocks, What can you tell me about them. Thanks

They're beautiful, they can fly up onto your roof, and they can scream like a human toddler. Also, the tail feathers are super cool. The noise of peacocks provides most of the jungle ambience of many small zoos and wildlife parks.

I would recommend spending some time at a place with peacocks prior to making a purchase.

They will mess up your garden like monsters. And if you have neighbors there gardens too.

You can sell the feathers.

People I know around here have some, thankfully not near me.

At what age can they be sexed?
What do they eat?
Are they pretty tough birds or do they get sick a lot?
Is there a problem keeping them around chickens and Turkeys?
What kind of coop should I have for them?
I see alot of people let them free range and they roost in the trees at night,
Howe do I train them to return home?

To a peacock/peahen, 'home' is UP. Up in a tree, up on your roof, but not on the ground.

They make lousy neighbors. They are very loud - people a block away will complain.
They shit more than they screech - your roof will become a manure pile, your driveway too slick to walk on.

They do become very faithful to those who feed them, and do brighten up a landscape.
I see them more as 'eye candy' than for any permaculture function.
Don't expect a decent meal out of them.

If somebody offered me a free pair, I would politely say "No."

They'll stare you down if food is involved.

Are they really that loud, I don't want them for anything but a pet that will look nice walking around the property, What do they eat? I need to do a google search on the noise they make.

It is an absurdly loud noise. Probably at least twice as loud as the average rooster.
I have read that they are susceptible to blackhead, like turkeys, and so would be unsafe around chickens.

ANyone Know where to get some, SHipping would be great. Thanks

MurrayMcMurray handles both day olds, and juvenile birds.

I picked up to 7 month old Peahowl today, a India Blue Peacock and a Jade Spalding Peahen, Hope it works out.

If there Head feathers, maybe called crest feathers are pulled out by other birds will they grow back?
