If you have them in a long narrow run they will pass more so make sure its as wide as long and BIG

Is it normal for the penned up peacocks to constantly pace backwards and forwards at the wire? They have been in the new pen for about 5 weeks now but they seems stressed. Is there something wrong or am I doing something wrong? |

If they are doing that all day then its not normal and it may be your pen is too small also do you have any peahens with them? George |

They are doing it mostly at 5.oopm till dark but sometimes during the day I am in the process of extending the coop because it is a little small for them so that must be it wow you know your stuff George and no I have no peahens would that not help either |

Short answer is you won't its their nature but they rarely do it in planted aviaries so do you have plants in yours? |
