AUSTRALIAN POULTRY FORUM

This may have been covered but if not is it possible to mix peafowl & pheasants together

It has been covered and from memory its not a good idea as they fight



Bourke

No keep them apart they can also interbreed

Thanks Bourke & Bluepeafowl I had a feeling that was the case. I searched the forum and found a heap of information on the subjest so I won't mix them.

Thanks again

With limited space I had the same idea but soon realized from the info on here it’s not a good idea. I wonder what a golden pheasant cross blue peacock would look like

It can be done with Golden’s and to some success Amherst but if it can be avoided it should.




Thanks
P.A

Well this answered my first question cheers. My second question which is now my first question how to peafowl go with guinea fowl in a cage perminantly I have heard they might breed with each other?

Yes they can but you need to worry more about them coming to blows in the fall and its not the peas you have to worry about. If its at all possible don't put them together

Mine have a go at each other through the wire so I could imagine what would happen if they were in together, a blood bath

That normal, I have seen them go at it not pretty
