The peafowl should learn from example were to stay by watching all your birds. the Peafowl at the little zoo in Gulf Shores free range. Hi! If you’ve ever been to the zoo, the bird exhibit may not be your first choice, lacking the grandeur of the elephant enclosure or the big cats, but when it comes to beautiful animals, few can compete with the legendary peacock. Our neighbor's peafowl come visit quite regularly. The answer is yes indeed, peacocks can fly. Announcements, Feedback, Issues, & Guides. I'll probably do the same thing I did with my keets- brooder, then nursery, then free range. There is probably 10 acres between us and their home. the Peafowl at the little zoo in Gulf Shores free range. Any advice for a newbie considering free range peas would be great!
The only catch is, of course, that they aren’t able to fly particularly far at any one time, nor very high. They can easily flutter into the air but only up to a limited gap. Sometimes they go across the street, but that is only because the neighbors also have free range peacocks. There is probably 10 acres between us and their home.
Our property has no Large trees, and even though we have over 6ac, the birds wanted to roost right over my neighbors house, in his 100+ year old oak trees. He may walk over to the neighbors once in a while but always returns after about an hour. The zoo keeper told me that they are just happier that way. None of the birds ever leave the property, but I was wondering if peas would be the same?
So they usually stay in my block which is about 5 acres. You must log in or register to reply here.
After spending a few weeks to a month in the nursery I usually let them start to roam, but I'll play the peachicks by ear. Unlike other birds, they cannot prolong their flight but these small drifts are extremely essential in getting rid of deadly killers.

Mine cover about a 30 acre area so far and go on new walk-abouts about once a week, they seem to get use to an area then move to another never staying in the same place very long unless it's in the safe zone. Sometimes they leave to the next block but I have only seen them do that twice. I think it helps that you have other birds free-ranging. I HEAR them everynight no matter where they are so I can tell if they have gone home or are visiting somehwere else. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=421848, Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures, Sponsored Content, Contests, and Giveaways.
Thanks for all the info! I'd like them to stay close by because on our property my dogs keep predators away and really keep them safe... How far do they normally go, assuming they have been raised up from chicks and are used to people?
Sometimes both of them, sometimes just the Peacock, on the rare occasion just the Peahen. I don't own any peas, but have been considering getting them.

When I move babies from the brooder to the coop they go into a "nursery" area where they can see everything/one, but they can't leave to roam and the older birds also can't reach them. The zoo keeper told me that they are just happier that way. Maybe I'll just keep them confined to the nursery much MUCH longer! JavaScript is disabled. Congratulations Kiki for 100,000 Posts!!!! Mine usually stay within the 10 acres around the house. I think they know we have food and water and chickens, so they figure it is a bird friendly house. I have chickens (mostly Buckeye), Ancona ducks, guineas, and Midget White turkeys that all free range our 5 acre property during the day and then go into coops at night. I can tell you my experience with my peas. Or visit our Learning Center for articles on How To Raise Chickens. I have never free ranged mine beofre, but there are 4 wild peacocks in my town and they normally stay in our block. They even stop traffic on Hwy 59 and the zoo staff has to go herd them out of the road. we have two acres and our free range pretty much stays around the pens. They even stop traffic on Hwy 59 and the zoo staff has to go herd them out of the road Jun 12, 2011 Sometimes they spend the night. I figured if I raised them the same way as my other birds, hopefully their behavior would be similar.
