Hi..I haven't posted here for a while!

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!

Can anyone suggest what I could do? I suppose the obvious thing is to lock up the peacock. It's not ideal though

If you can not pen the peacock--then pen the bantam....

forget about the bantam and go breed the peahen

Author: Maxie [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 02:42:43 04/26/09 Sun 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! ;)
