Water

• Will drink from water filled troughs, or water blocks such as ponds, rivers and lakes.

• Unlike pigs and cows, they do not consume a full water block or bucket.

Nests

For a peahen to lay eggs, she must be happy (fed and watered) and have access to a nest. You can pluck the eggs from the nest, or if you have a peacock in the coop leave them to hatch into peachicks.
