WHAT IS THE OF PEACOCK FOWL
Peafowl is a common name for two bird species in the genera Pavo and Afropavo within the tribe Pavonini of the family Phasianidae (the pheasants and their allies). Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl are referred to as peahens,
although peafowl of either sex are often referred to colloquially as "peacocks".
The two Asiatic species are the blue or Indian peafowl originally from the Indian subcontinent, and the green peafowl from Southeast Asia; The Congo peafowl is not a true peafowl, native only to the Congo Basin. Male peafowl are known for their piercing
calls and their extravagant plumage. The latter is especially prominent in the Asiatic species, which have an eye-spotted "tail" or "train" of covert feathers, which they display as part of a courtship ritual.

TYPES OF PEACOCK
Indian Peacock
The most recognizable peacock species, the Indian peacock is native to India, Sri Lanka and other parts of eastern Asia. The peacocks of the species display the famous tail plumage used in courting rituals and have bright, blue heads and crest colorings.
The bright coloring and large tail feathers are used to attract peacocks and size up against other peacocks.
Green Peacock
The Green peacock, also known as the Javanese peacock, is native to the Indonesian island of Java in southeast Asia. Green peacocks are similar to Indian peacocks in that they have large, brightly colored trains and use their feathers in courting rituals.
Green peahens are also brightly colored with green hues that are only slightly more muted than their male counterparts, however, like Indian peahens, the green variety does not have a long train of tail feathers.

Congo Peacock
A relatively recent discovery, the Congo peacock is an African native that more closely resembles typical pheasants than their flashy peacock brethren. Absent of elongated, brightly colored trains and colored blue, the males are of small stature compared
to other species. The peahens of the Congo are dappled green and brown, resembling young versions of green or Indian peacocks.
HOW TO CARE FOR PEACOCK CHICKS
Food and Water
Chicks don't get meals. They need access to food and water at all times, with the feeder and waterer kept away from the heat lamp. Begin with a specially formulated starter or starter/grower feed in a chick feeder until they reach eight weeks of age. You
only need to use medicated feed if the chicks have not been vaccinated against Coccidiosis, a parasitic disease affecting the intestines
Housing
Depending on the number of chicks you acquire, you can temporarily house them in a large cardboard box, glass aquarium, plastic tub or children's wading pool. Allow for a minimum of 6 square inches per chick to start, and increase the space when they
reach 4 weeks of age to 1 to 2 square feet per chick. A wire roof on the housing provides both ventilation and safety from escape.
HOW TO DISTINGUISH MALE APART FROM FEMALE CHICK
Bantam chickens are small versions of regular sized chickens and are sexed like other chickens. They are best kept in a group with a single rooster and several hens. Chicks cannot be sexed reliably, but once they are old enough for their adult feathers
to come in, the differences between the sexes become obvious. Since bantam chickens do not require as much space as full-size chickens, their popularity as pets is growing in areas where small yards are the norm.
