=========
You are indeed wise to think about this BEFORE bringing
home new members to your flock!!!!
A three month old peahen would be small and defenseless.
The right thing to do is to have a separate pen for the new
peahens to protect them until they are full size....
and even then you will have to watch how well the birds
behave when penned together.---hey, I have had to rush in
and rescue a victim of violence.
-----
speaking of violence this evening I had to save a mature
peahen from a peacock that she had lived with for several
years (there is a three year old daughter from them)...
anyhow Everest seems to be having a midlife crisis!!!!
