Blue Peacock

The blue peacock, also known as the Indian peacock, is not only a beautiful ornamental bird but also a rare and flavorful meat source. Han Junfeng, a former worker at Suibin Farm, has been raising blue peacocks since 2000. Over the years, his flock has grown to more than 100 birds. Through trial and error, he has developed techniques for breeding, hatching, and raising blue peacocks in northern cold regions. He now runs a successful peacock farm that sells eggs, young peacocks, adult birds, and various peacock products. Here are some of the key technical points he has mastered: **First, Feeding and Diet Formulation for Blue Peacocks** The main feed formula includes: 30% corn flour, 10% sorghum flour, 20% soybean meal, 10% bran, 22% barley residue, 4.5% fishmeal, 3% bone meal, and 0.5% salt. Supplementary feeds include calcium carbonate, shells, trace elements, and various vitamins. Green feed should be chopped and mixed or offered separately. Pellets are a staple feed, while oilseeds like pockmarked and suzi can be used as winter supplements. During breeding seasons, molting periods, or brooding times, it's important to add vitamin B1, B2, E, shell powder, and mineral feed to support health. **Second, Breeding Techniques for Blue Peacocks** 1. **Breeding Season** Blue peacocks typically breed between June and August, but under captive conditions, this period can be extended. (1) **Estrus and Courtship** Male peacocks display their vibrant tail feathers in a fan-like shape, called "opening the screen," and make loud calls to attract females. This behavior can last up to 7 minutes per session. In group settings, males may chase females aggressively. (2) **Mating** A ratio of 1 male to 3–5 females is ideal. After mating, females lay eggs, so it’s important to provide sand pits for nesting and regularly collect eggs to prevent damage. 2. **Incubation** (1) **Natural Incubation** Hens like native chickens or quails are often used to hatch peacock eggs. Each hen can incubate 4–6 eggs at a time. They are released twice daily for defecation and feeding. Eggs are checked on day 7, 14, and 21. (2) **Artificial Incubation** Specialized incubators can be used, adjusted according to egg size. Proper disinfection and temperature control are essential for success. **Third, Feeding and Management Practices** 1. **Peacock Housing** Peacocks are kept in small groups for easy management. The housing should be cool in summer and warm in winter. The area must be dry with good drainage. Basic equipment similar to chicken coops is sufficient. 2. **Brooding Period Management** For the first two months, baby peacocks are raised in cages with controlled temperatures. From day 1 to 10, the temperature should be 34–38°C; from day 11 to 20, 28–26°C; and from day 21 to 30, 26–24°C. Humidity should stay between 60–70%. Feed is given multiple times a day, including cooked eggs, green feed, and protein-rich supplements. 3. **Breeding Period Care** From 61 days to adulthood, peacocks are fed twice daily with a mix of pellets, greens, and grains. Regular weight checks help monitor growth. For commercial purposes, peacocks can reach market weight (3.5–4 kg) within 8 months. 4. **Adult Management** Adult peacocks require a balanced diet, clean environments, and quiet conditions. During breeding season, extra protein and vitamins are needed. In summer, more green feed is provided. Autumn is a molting period, and careful feeding and lighting adjustments help ensure even feather regrowth. In winter, more energy-dense foods are added to keep them warm. **Contact:** Phone: 89215133 Mobile: [Not provided] This detailed approach ensures healthy, productive peacock farming, combining traditional knowledge with modern techniques.
