Anybody raise peacocks ? I did a google search and read up on them , but I would like to talk to people with real experiance with them .
Reason for getting a pair is I hear they are good snakers . Rattlers and other pests are always a problem up where I live in the summer. They supposedly kill them off and are kind of a "watchdog" if 4 or 2 legged critters come around .
Whats the down side ? I hear they are terrible noisy and I suppose they crap all over too. Coyotes could be a problem killing them I suppose . Or big dogs .
Any other suggestions ? ... have considered a pig , pot bellies , etc . Need some advice . Just lost a dog to a rattler a few months back .
I live outside of town on 4 acres so they would have plenty of run . And its fenced too although I guess they could get over that pretty easily .
Thanks , Bob
