Do peafowl make good pets?
 
Do peafowl make good pets?
Peafowl can make good pets for those who have the land and resources to keep them properly. However, they are not the easiest birds to care for, and they do require a lot of space, shelter, and attention. Peafowl are also noisy birds, so they may not be suitable for people who live in urban areas or who have close neighbors. It's also important to note that peafowl are not domesticated animals, so they retain their wild instincts and can be flighty and difficult to handle. Additionally, in some areas, permits may be required to keep peafowl as pets.

How big of a coop do they need?

How big of a run do they need?
Peafowl are large birds that need ample space to move around, stretch their wings, and engage in natural behaviors. For coops, a minimum of 80 to 100 square feet of floor space is recommended for housing one male and one or more females. If you plan to keep more than one male, you will need to increase the coop size accordingly. The coop should also be tall enough to accommodate the birds' height, which is typically around 4 to 5 feet for males and 3 to 4 feet for females.

For a run, it's best to provide at least 200 square feet of space for one male and one or more females. Again, if you plan to keep more than one male, you will need to increase the run size accordingly. It's important to provide both shade and sunny areas in the run, as well as plenty of perches, shrubs, and other landscaping features to keep the birds entertained and stimulated. Additionally, it's important to provide secure fencing to keep the birds inside and protect them from predators.

Can you house peafowl with other birds? Such as chickens?
 
Can you house peafowl with other birds? Such as chickens?
In general, it is not recommended to house peafowl with other types of birds such as chickens because they may have different dietary, social, and environmental needs. Peafowl are larger and more aggressive than chickens, and they may also have different requirements for temperature, humidity, and lighting. Peafowl are also more prone to certain diseases that can be spread to chickens.

However, if you do choose to house peafowl with chickens, it's important to provide enough space for both types of birds to move around and establish their own territories. It's also important to introduce the birds to each other gradually and monitor their interactions closely to ensure that there is no aggression or bullying. Additionally, it's important to ensure that both the coop and the run are secure and protected from predators, as peafowl are more susceptible to predators than chickens due to their larger size and slower movements.
