Does anyone keep peacocks?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Weird question I know but I'm wondering if anyone keeps peacocks on their property, cage free? Dh and I are moving to a home on 9 acres within the next month or so and we went to our local fair today and I saw peacocks and remember how beautiful they are and how you can keep them on property. I don't know anything about them or what they need but I'd love to have a few pairs running around. There is a 3 acre lake and probably 1/2 acre is grass and the rest is all wooded. We have a ton of deer and wild turkey on the property as it is.

So what do you think?

ETA: We live nearly a half mile off the nearest road, down a windy, tree lined driveway. You can not see the house from the road. The road is not busy and only has 3 houses on it. The property is surrounded by farm land and most of it is fenced off but there are some places where the fence is down.

My dads gf mom (whew, get that ) keeps peafowl. They have a coop for them at night, but let them free throughout the day. The STL zoo has a bunch of free range peafowl too. I would love to have some, but we are in the city and only have 1/2 acre, so we stopped at chickens and ducks. Peafowl are pretty loud!

My dad used to keep them. His then wife loved them until they started roosting on her new car. Other than that, they just hung around the yard and kept to themselves.
