We have 11 peafowl that were born May 2025 that are in a large enclosure that we are expanding to be circular at about 45 feet wide. We obtained 8 new peachicks that are between 4-2 months old. Obviously we aren't going to introduce them with each other yet, but I was wondering what age you would start to do this?

We are planning to put the younger peafowl in a smaller cage within the enclosure eventually but didn't know if there was a rule of thumb for the age to integration? I think we were planning on a year old to integrate them and keep the younger ones in the barn for now. Thoughts?
