So, a few weeks ago I was adopted by some peacocks. I named them Hera and Zeus only to find out that they are both male.

Here is my post about the back story of how I was adopted if interested:

So here is my video of the peacocks in the chicken coop and causing a stir with my hens...OH THE DRAMA!!

Watch the peacocks dance and do their thing, its quite amazing and beautiful;



I had to finally intervene to help my hens.

ANY PEACOCK OWNERS OUT HERE ON ATS?? I need help!

As much as I love them, they are trying to claim the chicken coop and are scaring my hens


Is this normal behavior for peacocks? These males are just babies, less than a year old I think.

Please no sarcasm, I am truly looking for some good advice.

The best bet is to build a pen apart, but it will need to be quite large in order that both birds can strut around and do their thing but at the same time retreat from each other whenever they start to get a little too agressive with each other (even better is to split the pen in half with a wire fence that cannot be flown over.

Best also to keep them away from common fowl as this can lead to problems with parasites (especially pinworm)

There is also this link which might be able to help you :

Thanks! I know these must be wild and can't really afford to build them a pen right now. But if I could, I would get them their own barn!!

I am sure its all my fault since I started feeding them once they introduced themselves, but, I fed them way in the back far from the hens so they would know to stay out of my fenced in area. I thought I could train them to a feeding area, NOT take over the chicken house. It is kinda funny though.
I really do not want anyone(bird) to die over all the mess...Thats what I get I guess for feeding strays....
