My peacock, who was raised by a Pekin Bantam, thinks he's a bantam too. He's friendly with the peahens, but doesn't pay them that much attention really.
The problem is, he's started fighting my bantam cockerels. One cockerel now has a broken leg and the other one is knackered after being chased all round the garden by an angry peacock. It's not a fair fight!

If you can not pen the peacock--then pen the bantam....
and then put a "visual barrier" so that the peacock can
forget about the bantam and go breed the peahen

Thanks. We're keeping the bantams in, but there's no way I can hide them. They've got a big enclosure with netting over the top and the peafowl walk over it.
I think that keeping the peacock separate is best though.
Are yours making a helluva a racket at the moment? Mine are driving me mad! Peeeeow! Peeeow! ;)
