I finally get to see the hatching process. I am surrounded by many peafowl but have never had the pleasure of seeing this.
Many thanks.

Thanks so much for your sweet comment and your visit! Have a wonderful week!
@DeadlyTeaParty I WISH this was in my garden! No, it's at the L.A. County Arboretum, open to the public. Thanks so much for your warm comments. So glad you enjoyed it!
I know its a late comment, but I'm really glad this was posted. I've raised many peachicks that have been abandoned by the mothers in my neighborhood, but I have never seen them hatching! Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed! Happy Week!
@832existentialiste Thanks for your visit. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for your visit and warm comment!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! Have a great week!
It is one of the best videos i have ever seen about peacocks. Thanks for taping, editing and sharing such incredible video with viewers like i.
@XxXMidnightblackXxX Thanks so much for your nice comments. Yes, the raw sunflower seeds were mainly for the mother....the water was for everyone...and I put in some very small pieces of green-leaf lettuce for the chicks, as they were pecking away at the plants in the planter box. After they leave the nest, the mother would help them find bugs and worms.
Thank you so much for your nice comments! Have a pleasant week!
Such a beautiful thing! I hatch mine in an incubator, so to see the natural process is a pleasure.
@college87 Thanks for your visit and your sweet comment!
What a great video, and it's also nice to see that you gave them some food and water before they left the nest :)
@blackswantamer Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Actually, no they ventured pretty far away from the nest area, and didn't return there.
Today is Mothe´s Day in my country !!! what a sweet video to see!!!!!!!!!Thanks
@tzEkwan92 Thanks for your comment! The peahen sat on her eggs for a month before they hatched. Yes, that was the nest picked out by the peahen...she chose it.
Again with a real example of a mothers love here.
@mizukageofthedevil10 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
They're so cute!
Aw . Mamma's proud of her babies. Nice job on the video.
About a year for the females. The males are able to breed a year later, but most peahens prefer mating with a 3-year old male who has all of his beautiful train feathers.
@amarisclare That's exactly why I was the bodyguard for this peahen during the hatching.
The way this mother is looking at her chicks, is it fatigue or motherly love??
I am loving this beauty of nature... thanks so much :) God bless you
So nice to see how beutifull they are both as chicks and as mature specimens :)
Thanks! Have a happy week!
Awww, so sweet. Cute babies😁😁
Thank so much! Glad you enjoyed! Happy Weekend!

So glad that you got to see this one! Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching! Have a great week!
So cute ! nothing cuter than a baby bird !( Especially baby chickens ).
Thanks for watching! Happy Weekend!
SO CUTE
Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed. Have a good week!
@kasliwalchirag18 She hatched 7 chicks over a period of 4 days.
Awwww what cuties 🦚
Aren't they though? Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! Have a nice week!
peacocklover27 you too :D
Very cute... Peachicks in wild are amazingly agile even when they are hatched just few hours ago... They are masters with some very amazing inborn instincts to recognize their predators and the ability to vanish into vegetation. Also, baby peacocks can start flying within some days of hatching! That is amazing.
Thank you for your visit and your comments. Happy for you that you have your own peacock. Actually, peachicks can fly at birth, but they need a few days to be able to fly long distances. Good luck with yours.
peacocklover27 Thank you! Can you please suggest a balanced food for my around one month old peachick?
Rio - the Peacock The best food is raw, unsalted sunflower seeds (unshelled). I don't know where you live, but you can get them cheap at Trader Joe's. They also like unsalted peanuts, but the sunflower seeds are the best. If you let him wander around in your yard, he can find some greens to eat, otherwise spinach leaves are great or green leaf lettuce (broken into small pieces, of course).
Aha... I would try sunflower seeds and spinach as you suggested. Thank you!
Actually mine is a rescued wild peachick... But he is fully in syncrony with us. So he is very moody about the food. I am from India.
Best he likes insects (grasshoppers to be specific). But then I have limits and his appetite is never-ending. He is master of hunting himself. But then I need to keep an eye on him to avoid any areal attack by eagles, hawks etc. He eats pearl millet, small leaves of nearly all plants.
Rio - the Peacock You are very lucky to have the peachick! Good luck!
So adorable
Thanks so much! Happy Weekend!
Thanks happy weekend to you 2
So cute😍
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I'm thankful for the miracle of life, as shown in the following video of mine:
Precious moments ...
Laura G I wish for you...many precious moments this holiday!
peacocklover27 There were 6 ?? Thank you for your best wishes ...
Laura G Seven!! And you're welcome....you deserve the best of wishes always!!
peacocklover27 I thought I counted 7 !! lol .. Good night !! Big hugs ...
You can clearly see the difference in 17 weeks, when the males have developed blue in their faces and in the feathers on their necks and below that. But there are some signs early on: if the peachick displays its feathers, changes are its a male.
That's one happy pea-mom :-)
Thanks
Thanks for watching! Have a good weekend!
Adorable little peakoks
Thanks so much for your nice comment! Glad you enjoyed! :)
Very cute😍
Thank you! :) Have a nice weekend!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... Did I say Aw? Awwwwwwwwwwww. Beautiful moment. :)
very beautiful
like it a lot :) btw, how long did the peahen sat on the egg until the pea chicks are ready to hatch? and did the peahen automatically finds a nest and lay it eggs?
Adorable
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
so cute!!!!!
Is this in your garden??? If so you are one lucky duck!
Beautiful sighting and view!!
You are so very lucky to get so close!!! :O
I found it, thanks! This was a terrific video! The peahen mother looks like she has 6 or 7 chicks to raise. Is that about the average number of chicks per brood? And, how many of the chicks typically survive until adulthood?
This particular peahen hatched 7 chicks. The average number is 3 or 4! The odds are against survival in the wilderness, unfortunately. Only 3 out of the 7 of her chicks survived. The other 4 either got lost or were eaten by predators.
oh, jeez
indian national bird is peacock.i am so happy to watch a video like this thnks for the upload.next time you want to help the chick give them wheat or rice they just love wheat and rice
Glad you enjoyed my video! Happy New Year!
@evemingo1 You're kidding, right? The particular male who mated with this female is in a territory pretty far away from where she is nesting. You probably heard from a peacock much closer by. After the male mates with the female, they are through with any interaction from each other. The female raises the peachicks all by herself, while the peacock is free to mate with other females.
So cute
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!
Couple of questions if you don't mind. we have a pea hen that has laid six eggs in total 5 are in incubator and I she is sitting on the last one herself. She also laid an egg yesterday which I put in the incubator would she take it if I could get it under her or better to leave it in incubator. Secondly she is sitting on an egg at the moment in the back yard undercover but not protected from the open should I try and protect her someway. Do they ever get off the nest? should I try and feed her? Thanks in anticipation.
Sorry, I didn't see your comment until today. UA-cam didn't notify me. I hope by now all the eggs hatched. The mother leaves the nest at least once a day to look for food. Yes, it's OK to feed her. I think it's OK if she is in the open, as long as she is undercover. It would be alright to add the other egg to her nest if you put it there after she leaves the nest to look for food.
not only peahen ,what ever the kind of bird it is when they in incubating mood all they know is incubating because that mother instinct dominates every other instinct,but better you add the eggs in night time when she can not actually see what you are adding
Nice video friend
Omg so cute I wish I had some they're so beautiful and extremely cute the only thing I have of them is the feathers but if I had them as pets it would be pretty cool
+Minecraft Gamergirl I feel the same way you do....wish I had my own! Thank you for your comments. Have a nice weekend!
awww to cute
I love your videos, and love peacocks. I just got a pair of peacocks!!!!!!!
Thank you and good luck with your peacocks! You are so lucky to have your own! Have a great week!
Are those your peachicks?
Alondra Ramirez No. They belong to the peahen and they all reside at the L.A. County Arboretum.
Oh, I sorry you dont have peacocks:( But someday you will.
Alondra Ramirez Thanks :)
Peacocklover27 = how early in a peachicks life can you see the different boy'ish/girl'ish behaviours ? I know that turkey chicks display either male or female traits very early ... but is it the same for peachicks ?
THATS SO CUTEEEE
Thank you! Happy week!
you too
Very entertaining to watch such an awesome hatching,..and so cute as well,..loved the entire video Bella,..thank you for sharing,..Philip
This peahen loves when her chicks peck her beak. That's why she closes her eye in case they peck it.
thats cute
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
The Baby Peachicks are so cute. But the thing is, why is the peahen fat?
The peahen isn't fat...she's just puffed up to give the chicks hatching under her some room.
very graceful bird ! funny call they make ! lol
Thanks for watching! Have a good week!
Belíssima !!🐣
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed! Have a great week!
Good Mamma!!!!
Thanks for watching! Have a great week!
in the background it sounds like the daddy peacock is jealous beacuse hes not the one on the camera
his mum is watching like a hawk .
❤️❤️❤️
great
How long does it take a peacock to start breeding after it is born Male and Female
I have a peahen and peacock (peacock died) so We got a new one, A few days ago 4 peachicks were born and we didnt know it until today, There already Yellow and Not covered In Yolk There so cute!
Cool! You're very lucky!
Great work my friend🌹👍liked👍
💕😊friendly greetings 💕😊
Thank you! Happy Weekend!
The peacock is the father, but this peahen on this video is the mother. She and her peachicks are very cute.
+Dustin Griffith The peahen raises her chicks on her own without any help from the peacock. Thanks for your comment! Have a nice weekend!
That is true the Peahen looks after her chicks with love and care without the Peacock's help, and the Peacock normally goes somewhere for an adventure by himself, like mating with the other Peahens and fighting the other Peacocks.
+Dustin Griffith The peacocks are always available to mate with the peahens, and usually they only fight over territories or if one peacock is eating in another's territory. Thank you for your comment! Hope your week is going well.
nice
Thank you! :) Happy Weekend!
when the baby pokes mom in the eye... just like a human baby...
Hi I just found a peacock egg and the mother left it in the cold it was just layed and idk how long it was in the cold for but I have it wrapped up in a blanket and a heater hitting it what am I suppose to do in Order to have this peacock hatch
You need to get an incubator.
💜👌💜👌💜👌💜
Thanks for watching! Have a good weekend!
Peacock eggs hatching how many days plz reply sir
Nice
Thanks! Have a great day!
Ive grown up around peacocks my whole life. And it's sad because sometimes most of the chicks that hatched, won't grow to be older
I know what you mean. On the video that you watched, the peahen hatched 7 chicks from 10 eggs, and only 3 peachicks survived. Right now at the Arboretum we have a bunch of coyotes who keep killing off all the peachicks. It's so sad.

Is it really peacock?
Yes, it's a female, called a peahen, and those are her peachicks.
