Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Raise your peachick in a pen until he's about 10 months old. Peacocks need time to get comfortable with their surroundings.
Step2
Give your peacock plenty of room to roam. A small yard or pen will make her very unhappy.
Step3
Build a perch with 6 feet of room on either side. Peacocks like to spread out their feathers often.
Step4
Set up a large pen for the winter and cold fall days. Protect their feet and keep them from freezing by insulating the pen with straw and natural material..
Step5
Feed your peacock grains like cracked corn and wheat, chopped vegetables and greens and food for game birds found at feed stores.
Step6
Maintain peace and quiet in their living area. Peacocks are anxious birds and don't function well where there are loud noises and lots of action.
Step7
Expect the male peacock to grow into his beautiful feathers after three years. As long as you've maintained quiet and calm surroundings, he'll show you his feathers often. They also spread their tails to impress peahens.
