Can peacocks and chickens live together?

Answer 1

Yes they can and often do. If you intend to breed the peacocks then you must separate them as peacocks prefer to be apart from other birds when with the peahen. The peacocks will often separate as a group when left to free range anyway and they will roost in the same coop if nothing better is offered.

Answer 2

according to charl's darwins theories and results YES! i have read articles on artificial insemination and genetics,i concluded result as agreed with darwin's theories peafowls and chickens are placed in a same famliy now genetics says that

birds of same faily especialy 'fowls' including guinee,pheasants,pea,red jungle fowl (commonly named as jungle fowl or chicken) can breed and in years many succesfull egg production of these intercourses have been reported.how ever i say the offspring IF hatched and HAS grown it will be definitly a infertile bird.

Answer 3

Chickens, pheasants, peacocks and partridges all belong to the family Phasianidae, so the question is incorrect. Chickens and pheasants belong to the same family, so they're closely related. Chickens themselves are derived from two of the four types of jungle fowl (red, green, grey and Sri Lanka).

Answer 4

Yes she can, but she can't hatch as many because the eggs are much larger than chicken eggs and it takes about 7 days longer. Chick 21 days to hatch peachicks 28. but chicken hens will hatch and raise them. Even better is the turkey hen whose eggs and babies are about the same size and the turkey eggs take 28 days too. Often at our farm peahens and turkeys hens will hatch and raise each others babies. They grow up and do not forget they are either turkeys or peafowl.

Answer 5

well, a chicken lays eggs, is fairly small, is dull coloured, squawks, pecks, is common and is commonly found on farms. While a peacock is rare, is beautifully coloured blue and green, has a rainbow-coloured big tail that fans out, is large, graceful, and is only found in its native habitat or zoos. lol this whole question was such a fail

Answer 6

No it wouldn't peacocks are very smart animals! Even if they were hungry they would have the skills to catch an animal such as small snakes, lizards, and grains!

Just to let you know I am doing a report on peacock so my information is correct!

Answer 7

No, it is it's own kind of bird, although having "hen" and "cock" defining the male and females, the correct name for these birds is Peafowl.

Answer 8

Only if they have very large runs because peacocks, being much bigger than chickens, will bully them in a confined space.

Answer 9

No, a pheasant is a game bird while roosters are male chickens
