When Can Peacocks Go Outside?

After they are fully feathered by around 8 weeks of age, they are old enough to go outside into their permanent housing.

How long do baby peacocks need a heat lamp?

Start your chicks off at 99 degrees for the first three hours. Then, keep them at 95 degrees for the first week. Reduce the temperature by 5 degrees each week until they are fully feathered out, typically at 6 weeks and 70 degrees. Peachicks are very sensitive, so be sure the temperature is always stable.

Will peacocks stay in your yard?

It's very unlikely a peacock will always stay within your yard if you allow them to roam free.
