Here is a poor photo (due to my flash not working) of one of the hay loft chicks riding her presumed mother.
And here are a few photos of the peacock over the last couple of days looking majestic (I think).
And here is a decent photo of the peachicks. In case you don’t believe me that they are peachicks and not chicken ones, they are quite a bit larger than chicken chicks, their legs are longer, and they have a poof on the tops of their heads
One of them decided to ride their adoptive mother too. 
She is still setting on one of the eggs so there is a slim chance we will get another.
The peacock started losing his feathers in earnest yesterday. I am guessing there will be a lot more this morning. I am collecting them. I thought about trying to sell them, but I never have had any luck with that. So I got the bright idea while picking them up that maybe I would be a peacock this year for Halloween. Usually I try to be something scary, and peacocks are not that scary. Do you think there has been a horror film made about peacocks?!? I will look into it. 
IMHO there has been an overabundance of “scary” this year. I vote that you dress up as something BEAUTIFUL!
That is a great point Michelle!
cute pea-chicks! and love the photos of the peacock on the fencepost.
Thanks Denise. They are cute. The peacock is less dramatic now without his tail feathers. So I am glad I got the fence post photo just before that. Now I need to figure out how to keep these peachicks safe. The container they are in now will not last.
😎Cool 🙂 I would be scared raising a bird that big 🐔 They looked ok on NBC’s ‘wonderful world of color’ in the 60’s though 😉 A friend of mine in Ogden Iowa housed them in a tall wire corn drier in the mild months with a large tree branch in there 😉
Thanks- they just run loose on the property. So far they do not go far, I think wanting to be near the food. But they sure can make a racket. Not sure what the neighbors think.
Your on a ranch the neighbors can’t be that close are they❓ if they are cockadodoldoo like any any other rooster or do they screem like a wild banshi ❓
They scream like wild banshees. Most of our neighbors are always away but a couple are within 200 yards. I am guessing they can hear him.
I bet them birds keep the crow’s out of your garden though 😉
