How absolutely gorgeous!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Congratulations!
Such beautiful birds
Congratulations........how beautiful, they can be noisy though.
I agree with Mary, beautiful but NOISY.
We can hear some from a garden 2 miles away. They started at 4.15am a couple of weeks ago.
Breaking news one of the brown chicks was taken possibly by a red kite this morning sad moment only 8 days old and just to clear things up it is normally only tbe peacocks cry out except when the peahens are nesting and or in season the do make a different call than the male which you soon learn to tell the difference.
That said they are lovely to have in the garden it is a pleasure to have them around
Oh no, can you keep them somewhere sheltered until they are a bit bigger?
Now I see them
Here you go again , your poor birds appear to be a bit wayward , beautiful little creatures.....

Are they pea hen chicks? Or do they develop coloured feathers as they get older?
