I raised my peachick from an egg. I treated her like a house bird and she’s the most well behaved of all our animals. Thanks for posting this video. I know domestication isn’t an option for everyone but it was worth it for her. She loves people and acts like a duck following everyone around. She loves snuggles on the couch. She is treat driven. If I put my hands in front of her like a parakeet she’ll hop on. She loves face and neck rubs. She chirps, fans her tail for fun (or danger), gets the zoomies and is the dominant bird in our aviary. She even comes when she’s called. Best birds ever if you can train them and raise them as pets. She’s got amazing predator instincts as well and fights my dogs if they get too frisky
Very much enjoy your work and love the animals. I too am looking to socialize and hand tame my peachicks. I like what you mentioned about peafowl being "wild" not domesticated animals who need longer bonding times. Thank you!!!
I hear these birds every morning on my way to my workout.They mostly roost in Douglass fir and other tree.I love their calls! They do land in fields but I've never seen them mix with wild turkeys. They have never bothered me.
Thank you for such a balanced and informative description of proper Peafowl husbandry. I learned many things. I thought I would share an interesting Peacock story with you. Me and my sis in law were at the Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama, US in the eighties with our young sons. By the way my sis in law was and is an unusually attractive petite blond, rosy completion, burly personality. This is important for later. We were moving through the various animal attractions. We moved through the avian area. There was a peacock who wandered freely through this area. He was quite taken with my sis in law. He would angle himself around her in order to be directly in front of her. He would then display in front of her. Rustling his pinions for maximum effect. He followed us from area to area. Repeating this behavior. He was in no way aggressive. Just clearly enamored of her. She was embarrassed and kept giggling. Whereupon he would make the maximum rustling sound. He was a spectacular specimen of his breed. He finally gave up, and headed back to the avian area. We thought this was fascinating. If you have any thoughts about this.....I would love to hear them!🦚💙💜💚
I loved your videos and bird tips! In South America there is a lot of talk about leaving the peacock chicks without contact with the soil up to a year old, because they eat the feces and get sick. Is this necessary? I am doing experience with chicks that were incubated with chicken. They are living loose along with the chickens, free.....
@HappyTailsAnimals I have 2 questions for you. On the farm where I live we have a 3 year old peahen who decided to lay eggs in my vegetable garden so we decided to incubate the 2 eggs because she was leaving them at night to sleep up high in her tree as usual however as soon as I did that she laid a couple more eggs and has been sitting on them in my garden for about 3 weeks now. My questions are… Should I somehow put the eggs I have in the incubator under her with her other eggs? Or continue to hatch the peachicks and then introduce her to them in hopes that she will accept them (they are all due to hatch within days of each other). If so , when should I introduce them? Second question… The 2 peacocks we have now (1 male , 1 female) don’t have a coop as they sleep outside high up in a tree all night, how will the mother keep them safe from predators (coyotes, fox , skunks) should we build them a coop to keep them in? And if so for how long should they stay in the coop? I’m in Canada and winter is coming in a few months. Sorry for so many questions, I appreciate any advice, thank you 🦚💞🦚💞🦚💞🦚💞
I know your videos are a little old but im hoping you still keep an eye on the comments. How do i care for my peacock in the winter? We get 2 feet of snow at a time where i live...needless to say, it is COLD in the winter! Currently i have 1 peacock about 6 months old housed in my hen house. He/she has a separate cubicle that they cannot get out of (because im afraid they will fly away) but i want to make sure im keeping him/her at a good temperature! Can you help with winter advice? Thanks!
Greetings, I have a huge garden with tall magnolia and other fruit trees but the territory is guarded well (out of any potential predators). How many peacocks should I keep if I wanna bond with 'em. Moreover, I'm planning to have the white ones
Good morening dear maam, thanks for your posts on peafowl. i have two peahens and a peacock, they have started laying but the result from archery is always that the eggs are not fertile and i dont know why? can u help guid me through on what may be the cause and what to do. thanks ADEMOLA
Hey! I’ve recently adopted an opossum and have watched all your videos about them.. I’m curious to know being that was several years ago if you’ve learned anything new or if you could do more videos about them! Please 🙏
We have two peachicks and they are about 2 weeks old and we have them in our workshop and they have heat and they are with other babies, just in their separate enclosure. I see that you like to keep yours in your room and I was wondering if it was too late to transition them into our room and how long you keep them in there. Thanks!
@@HappyTailsAnimals but I also intend I'm spending a ton of time with them, so not even if we move them outside. We will be spending time with them every day
Sounds like you aren't ready for this. I do not reccomend you hand raise these peachicks. Spending time with them is not the same thing as raising them with you. If you go through with this I do believe you will have very aggressive birds in 3 years.
Our peahen had 3 peachicks. One of them died from a neck injury or possibly wry neck? It couldn't use its neck. 5 days later another is dead. Im not sure about this one. No wounds but it's feathers seem scruffled.The third doesn't seem to be doing well. What should I do?? (All advice and guidance welcome! I don't wanna go lose this precious baby :(
If you are in North America remove the eggs and get her checked out. This is not normal and should not be encouraged. Make sure they are being cared for properly.
Hi, I keep peachicks with my chicken in their coop. There is no mother. They are artificially incubated. My peachicks always die one by one after they are 30-45 days old. What can be reason? What can I do to ensure survival? Pls guide
The Peacock is one of my favorite bird. The male has amazing colors. I believe that if we respect an animal it will not be aggressive. An animal that is aggressive has usually had a bad experience with a human or humans.🥰❤🧡💛💚💜🦚🦚🦚
Tell that to the rooster that was hatched by one of my hens who are well taken care of. They meet me at the gate when I get home from work. They are free range and only get locked up at night. They are very well fed and are almost all rescued from bad situations. My rooster however, attacks me daily for no reason other than he's an ass. He has ripped my jeans bruised and cut me! All I do in retaliation is hold him and love on him like I did when he was young hoping he will realize we can be friends. So far it hasn't happened. He has had NO bad memories with humans and he is still horrible!!!

Thanks so much for posting this just in time I was hoping for a more detailed vid on peachick care after I watched the peacock care vid !

Oh how funny! Not the first bird I have heard of that likes certain women! They are so funny sometimes with their unique quirks.
@@HappyTailsAnimals Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to me!😃🥰
Thank you for another enjoyable and informative video. I love your channel Megan. Kind regards from Scotland ☺️🏴 xx
Thanks for watching!
I’ve raised peafowl for 15 years and have never had any aggressive ones.
10 yrs here. No mean fowls.
Thanks for sharing. Love animal
Thanks again for sharing this very interesting to know.

You look awesome with your eyeshadow!!!! (:

Hello I was just wondering what animal you hink would be ood for kids?
❤❤❤
Would you do an episode on Kenyan Sand Boas? I'm trying to decide if I should switch mine over to a bioactive setup.

I like your videos
Love it! How do you get started? Do the babies die easily, like turkeys?
Do they require a certain type nesting box for brooding eggs?

I have a peacock egg and I don’t really know what to do I am so stuck
Where did you get this egg? Are you planning on incubating?
Hey! I’ve recently adopted an opossum and have watched all your videos about them.. I’m curious to know being that was several years ago if you’ve learned anything new or if you could do more videos about them! Please 🙏
Thanks for the great video
Thank you!
Do you sell fully grown peafowl? ❤❤❤
One interesting fact is that peachicks resemble turkey poults
I'm incubating 2 eggs. I'm close to lockdown. Do I turn the eggs during lockdown as well?? @happytails
We have two peachicks and they are about 2 weeks old and we have them in our workshop and they have heat and they are with other babies, just in their separate enclosure. I see that you like to keep yours in your room and I was wondering if it was too late to transition them into our room and how long you keep them in there. Thanks!
Please make sure you watch the part about this being an 11 month commitment. Are you going to keep them in the house for that long?
@@HappyTailsAnimals sure, but I expect they'll need a much bigger space as they grow. How do you keep them in the house when they're bigger?
@@HappyTailsAnimals but I also intend I'm spending a ton of time with them, so not even if we move them outside. We will be spending time with them every day

Have a peahen starting to lay eggs and then she's right around 3 years old but she's laying them now in October what are the chances of them hatching?
If you are in North America remove the eggs and get her checked out. This is not normal and should not be encouraged. Make sure they are being cared for properly.

Stop doing everything you just said.
😊
My Peahen has never ever attacked me and she is a wild animal or wild bird
My pea hen just turned 2 she is in with one chicken hen she layed 2 eggs about 2 weeks ago that was all she layed is that normal
Two year olds usually do not hatch chicks. Is she alone?
No males in with them but she layed 2 eggs
No chicks I collected them but should she be laying eggs at 2 the peahen not the chicken
She needs a friend! Have you watched this video? There is no reason for her to lay.
