Peafowl • 4 Peachicks






Peafowl • 4 Peachicks
** WE DO NOT SHIP PEACHICKS -
Peachicks will be 1-3 weeks old - unsexed. The peahens lay MAY - AUGUST.
We recommend feeding them **Purina Medicated Chick Starter for a minimum of 16 weeks. This allows the immune system of your chicks to achieve their maximum resistance to coccidiosis - to make up 90% of their diet. They also need grit. After 16 weeks, switch to Purina Flock Raiser crumble 20% protein, until the point of lay. Once laying season comes around in their second spring season give them 18% Purina Gamebird Layer crumble + Multi Cat (TSC) for extra protein. Once laying season is over go back Purina Flock Raiser crumble. When they are laying they need calcium in a separate bowl. Treats: Ours enjoy blueberries, mealworms, black soldier flies, green leafy vegetables, pumpkin, black oil sunflower seeds.

2025 Will be our sixth year offering Peachicks. Our male peacocks are India Blue + Black Shoulder. The peahens are India Blue, Cameo, and Black Shoulder. Are peafowl right for you? We offered some informative links below. Our birds are most happy exploring the yard, and gardens exploring together. They come running when I call them in the evening for mealworms.
