What are peacocks worth? I told him I'd give him 12 weeks for free for a total of 55$.

Locally, peachicks typically sell for $15.00 to $40.00 each, newly hatched, depending on the rarity of the color. There is a huge number of colors, especially when you get into the blue peafowl/green peafowl hybrids. Occasionally you can buy peachicks for as low as $5.00 each, for newly hatched ones.

From the Captain Kangaroo show.
Captain Kangaroo says to Mr. Greenjeans, "If a male is a Peacock what do you call a female?"
Mr. Greenjeans says, "Why, a peahen, of course.:
"What about a baby?" the Captain asks.
Mr. Greenjeans answers, "Why, a peawee, of course.
They both then proceeded to do everything which they could do to keep from cracking up.
Pretty racy stuff for that era.

The male peafowl make a cry that sounds like a woman yelling help. They are loud, but don't call a lot. Most peafowl won't breed until they are 2. 3 year old to 8 year old birds breed best. They breed better if you have at least two males.

The eggs, chicks, adults and feathers all sell reasonably well. Some people pay way to much for pretty adults, especially at auctions. I sold all of my adult peafowl earlier this year. I plan on purchasing about 20 peafowl chicks. You should try a few Brian.

In the Middle Ages, they used to carefully skin peacocks, cook them and serve them with the skins put back on. Knights frequently took oaths on the cooked peacocks.
