Available Birds, Chicks, and Eggs


We are dedicated to bringing you quality, hen-raised peafowl and as such, we usually only have a few birds available on any given year. Chicks become available to take home when they are roughly three months old, which is typically around Sept/October, but may be listed here early. Regardless of appearance on this page, they are not available for pickup until 3 months of age.
  • Prices on young peacocks generally range from $100-250, depending on color, pattern, sex, and quality.
  • We do not typically sell peahens by themselves- hens are sold in a 1.1 pair with a male, or sometimes 1.2 trios, unless we only have hens left. When we have solo-hens available, they will be $200-300, depending on color, pattern, and quality.
  • Adult peafowl of breeding age typically range from $300-500 depending on color, pattern, sex, and quality.
  • All birds are local pickup by default, I do not ship through any mail service. Delivery within 8 hours (one way) of our farm may be paid for at a rate of $15/hour to pay for gas and time. This includes driving time to you and back, so a location 2 hours from us will owe $60 (4 hours), and so on. Delivery over 8 hours (one way) is available at a rate of $15/hr (gas and time) + $125 (lodging/food) per overnight needed. I have delivered as far away as Colorado, driving does not bother me.
  • We can deliver multiple birds in a single trip, saving you money per bird. Our transport can move up to 8 birds in a single trip.

If you are interested in claiming a bird before the mailing list notification goes out, please contact us via email, and we can set up a paid hold. Paid holds count toward the total for the animal and guarantee you will get your chosen bird, but they are non-refundable unless something happens to the bird while it is still in our care. Otherwise all birds are cash on pickup.

You can sign up for our mailing list to be notified of new peafowl listings!

2026 Pre-Sale Claims

Pre-sale claims is a period of 2+ weeks before the first chicks may leave the farm. During this time, the e-mail list will be notified of available birds, and have priority claim on a given year's chicks. Claims are NOT strictly first-come, first-serve (ie, the first to contact me initially is not guaranteed anything). However, I will go through the pre-purchase process of asking and answering questions with everyone, and place the birds in the first available, suitable home, so answering queries swiftly and thoroughly is advantageous. Please be prepared to answer questions about your feed, housing, and experience with keeping peafowl (you don't necessarily need experience, I just need to know when and where to help if you are newer).

Corona's Quartet

This year Corona and Astra co-sat a nest and hatched 4 blues out of Earl x Wendy. Right now, there are 2 for-sure hens, 1 for-sure male, and one I haven't decided on yet. All 4 are the wild phenotype. The hens will be true wild types, no hets. The male(s) may be true wild types, or may be heterozygous for European Violet (freshly imported from Europe in 2023). As they all descend from Earl, who is F1 from European import stock, they should make for GREAT breeding stock, completely unrelated to almost any other bird in the USA.

These birds MAY NOT BE PICKED UP until after Sept 1st, but prospective owners may respond to the mailing list notification to begin a claim. Proof of adequate housing space and type, as well as proper care knowledge must be demonstrated up front.

Aris' Fab 5

This year Aris and Lyra co-sat a nest and hatched 5 babies from Earl x Amber (Bug). These babies are currently UNSEXED. Hens will be plain blues, males will be blue het purple. I currently suspect 3 hens and 2 males, but it may be 2 hens and 3 males.

These birds MAY NOT BE PICKED UP until they have been confidently sexed AND after Sept. 1st at the earliest. If Sept 1st arrives and I am not confident in my ID, I will band them and have them DNA blood sexed. Prospective owners may respond to the mailing list notification to begin a claim. Proof of adequate housing space and type, as well as proper care knowledge, must be demonstrated up front.

Eris' Chick

This year Eris sat on a nest by herself and hatched 2 chicks; one from Earl x Amber (Bug) that is not available for sale, and one blue hen that is. The blue hen is a true wild type out of Earl x Wendy, and is F2 from a fresh European bloodline. As such, she will make an EXCELLENT breeding prospect, unrelated to nearly all birds in the USA.

She will not be available for pickup until after Sept 1st. Prospective owners may respond to the mailing list notification to begin a claim. Proof of adequate housing space and type, as well as proper care knowledge, must be demonstrated up front.

Wendy's Chick

This year, Wendy sat on a nest by herself, and hatched 2 of her own chicks: a European violet hen that passed away shortly after hatch due to a tick issue, and a blue male. The blue male may be a true wild type, or may be heterozygous for the European violet mutation. He's the most outgoing of the males, and will readily come investigate me and take treats from my hands.

He will not be available for pickup until after Sept 1st. Prospective owners may respond to the mailing list notification to begin a claim. Proof of adequate housing space and type, as well as proper care knowledge, must be demonstrated up front.

Heather's Swarm

This year Heather sat on a nest of her own eggs, and hatched 5 chicks- 2 European Violet hens and 3 blues. Of the blues, there are 2 males and 1 hen. All blues will be available, and one of the EV chicks, though I haven't decided which yet.

As Heather's nest hatched much later than everyone else's, her chicks will not be available until Sept 15th. Prospective owners may respond to the mailing list notification to begin a claim. Proof of adequate housing space and type, as well as proper care knowledge, must be demonstrated up front.

Stella/Flo's Chick

Stella and Fluorite decided to co-sit a nest VERY late in the season, and hatched 1 chick- a blue that is currently unsexed. Due to the late hatch, this chick will not be available for pickup until November 1st. I will be DNA sexing it soon, and claims may be made privately by contacting us.

Eggs

On average, we have about a dozen hatching eggs available per year, with some available at the start of the season (typically April/May) before our birds set nests, and some available at the end of the season (June/July/August) from birds that didn't set a nest during the first round of laying- sometimes this is a few birds, sometimes this is no birds.

If you are interested in hatching eggs, please contact us or add yourself to the mailing list BEFORE MARCH 1ST, to be notified when eggs become available.

Hatching eggs will be first paid, first served and must be picked up ASAP. As we have no control over your handling or incubation practices, we make no guarantees except that the eggs come from our pens with fertile males.

Hollow Shells

We also offer hollow eggshells for artists to paint, carve, or otherwise decorate (think pysanky eggs) or for vulture-culture enthusiasts to collect. These eggs are available through our Etsy page, but can also be purchased directly through e-mail for a discounted price, since we don't have to pay Etsy fees. These eggs are ones we cannot hatch (infertile or from rescue pens) or that did not grow during incubation (dud eggs the hens sat on). They have been cleaned, drained, rinsed, and dried by hand by me. They are blown using a tool made for it, so have just one small hole on the bottom, but dud eggs may also have faded graphite remnants on top, from where they were dated in the nest.

Single eggs are $10 (shipping is included anywhere in the continental USA).
Multiple eggs are $5/ea + shipping.
