Peachicks become independent at 9 to 12 months of age, when they are full grown. Before that, they will cry for their mother hoarsely, "Woe, woe!" endlessly. They may become desperate and run or fly around, searching for her. The mother will usually "kick them out on their own" when she starts laying eggs the next summer. Bigger peafowl will attack and injure or even kill lost or motherless chicks. This may be because their crying could attract predators that would endanger the whole flock. You can raise peachicks without a mother at all (from eggs, abandoned, or orphaned), but it's a full-time job to keep them safe, even in a cage, because EVERYTHING wants to eat them.

How long do peahens take care for peachickens?
Peahens typically take care of their peachicks for about 3 to 6 months after they hatch. During this period, the mother provides protection, guidance, and food, helping the chicks to develop their foraging skills. After this time, the peachicks become more independent and may start to join other groups. However, the bond between the mother and her young can vary depending on environmental factors and individual behavior.
When do peachicks get color?
Peachicks, the young of peafowl, begin to develop their color as they mature, typically around 4 to 6 months of age. Initially, they are covered in a downy, grayish-brown plumage that helps them blend into their environment. As they approach their first year, males start to show the vibrant greens and blues characteristic of adult peacocks, while females retain more subdued colors. Full adult plumage is usually achieved by around 2 to 3 years of age.
