Young Guinea hen won't walk on feet?
Sometimes a guinea keet will have weak, or splayed legs -- they go out sideways instead of being under the guinea. I have had success in correcting this by flooring the brooder with the non-skid plastic material used by RV campers. It allows the keet to get a better grip, and the legs strengthen with just a little upright walking.

What if a lone peacock strays into a residential area for over a year and unable to find a mate?
If the peacock has been roaming the area for over a year, it probably has enough food and resources to survive. Unless you wish to remove the bird, it will simply roam and live happily until it dies. If you wish to have it removed, call a local animal control who can move it to a park.

What Masculine gender of pea-hen?
The masculine gender of a pea-hen is called a peacock. Peacocks are known for their vibrant plumage and striking tail feathers, which they fan out during courtship displays. In contrast, pea-hens are the females and are generally less colorful and more subdued in appearance. Together, they belong to the species Pavo cristatus, commonly known as the Indian peafowl.
To relocate peafowl, first ensure you have the necessary permits, as they may be protected in some areas. Capture the birds gently using a net or a humane trap, minimizing stress. Transport them in a secure, well-ventilated container to their new location, ideally during the early morning or late evening when they are less active. Once at the new site, provide food, water, and shelter to help them acclimate.
