Peacocks! WOW! I hadn't thought about that! Only problem is, we would have wild animal issues. I don't think they'd make it running around. I'd love to see them. Posting a picture is really easy. You just upload your pic to a program like photobucket, open the picture, right click on the pic, choose properties, copy the address, and paste the address in the window that pops up when you click on image when you post your message. Sounds complicated, but it's really easy. You'll see the image button on the bottom right when you preview your post....just below the edit box.
I remember having chickens at my grandmother's many years ago. I'm quite intimidated by them though. I was pecked one time and the danger of snakes in the nest was always scary. My mother was surprised to learn I still remembered this. There was also the problem of "stuff" squishing between your toes...EWWWW!
This set up takes care of all of that. If you notice, the nests stick out the back of the coup. There's a lid that flips up and locks so you can retrieve the eggs without even having to enter the coup. There is also a wire top and bottom to take care of predator issues. I'm very excited! We should be able to get our chickens in the next couple of weeks. We are clearing the spot to put the coup now. If things work out, we can expand the coup later. This one has 4 nests. We will probably put a larger pen area around this with a top and bottom so they have more room to roam.
