These are last year's chicks; two boys and two girls and about 3/4 of adult size.
Three of them have Indian Blue type colouration (as per the pics below), whilst one of the boys has white patches on his shoulders.
What you should know is that peafowl can be very noisy for a few months in the Spring (breeding season), so are not suitable if you have close neighbours. You'll also need a secure pen with a roof to keep them in for 6 weeks or so, so that they get to know where their new home is (if you don't do that, they'll end up back here. Don't laugh - it's happened before!
). Apart from that, they need nothing more than a nice high tree or roof to sleep on, and a cupful of peanuts once a day.
These pics are a from a previous year, but should give you an idea:
This is Mum on the right (fully grown), and her female chick on the left.
And here's Dad. He's a real stunner!
We find them to be beautiful, intelligent birds, who really add character to our smallholding. If you don't already have peafowl, I won't sell just one on its own unless you are also sourcing other unrelated birds from somewhere else. The price is £40 each to help offset the cost of feeding our flock. If you have any questions, feel free to add them below so that everybody can read the replies

Cheers,
