new ones need to be locked up afaik for some amount of time to lock in your location as "home".We've been wanting to get peacocks as well and want them to free range with the rest of the flock. How did you train yours to come home? We've read it can be difficult to prevent peafowl from just leaving and not coming back. That would be a very expensive loss.
but realistically we probably lose some, especially if we have too many males. I assume they move on. I've started paying more attention in the past couple years so I'll learn more. I agree that bought adults would be an expensive loss, but if you just let them breed on their own, additionally losses dont seem so bad.
