Subject: Re: integrating new females Author: D C T --friendly poultry orthopedist [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:38:40 05/08/09 Fri In reply to: sharon 's message, "integrating new females" on 10:41:44 05/08/09 Fri >What is the best way to integrate them into the flock. > Are they too young? Will the other birds attack them? ========= 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!!!!
