Maxie,
I do not know where you are but here in Georgia USA I have
several peahens that are indeed setting on eggs in their
secure pens. I can NOT let my peafowls free range due to
varmints (predators) that wish to dine on poultry at my
expense.
Actually I have five peachicks in my brooders right now.
--------
I have friends over twentyfive miles from me that did let
their peafowls free range. This worked OK and their peahen
actually raised some peachicks but then the peacock
vanished without a trace. They think that he was stolen
and could be right but then it may just be the work of a
coyote or bobcat

Well, my peahen came back but she's only here intermittently. Funny because she's ALWAYS been with the other peahen for her whole life...they walk round in a pair.
Oh! Really weirdly - I was driving out of our front gate and ran over something verrry strange on the drive. It was too late to stop me going over it, but I got out to check. It was a bizarre, leathery peahen egg. No shell, just the kind of leathery inner layer with a big yolk (now splattered up the drive) What does that mean? Eggs with no shells? Why on the drive??
