I have known several peahens with this confused behavior. It is not very likely that a peahen would be confused enough to do this for a fox. Mine are in "secure pens" which keeps them safe.

They're quite shy and I can never normally get near them! Perhaps they're doing the mating crouch with me because they're frustrated at my peacock ignoring their needs. lol Thanks for you valued help. xx [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: D C T --friendly poultry orthopedist [Edit] Date Posted: 20:29:32 04/26/09 Sun I used to have a peahen that would AVOID the peacock and then insist on getting in my way. To get fertile eggs from her I had to distract her so that Rainbow/Rambo could catch her. I seem to run a home for dysfunctional and/or violent poultry [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
