Peacock Joins Family, American Farmer-Flock Grows

Barb Baier and her family have an unexpected family member – a beautiful peacock that wandered onto their farm about 10 or 15 years ago and decided to make itself at home. Since then, their flock has grown to include a whole community of these vibrant birds.

One of the most endearing aspects of this story is the bond between the Baier family and their feathered friends. Barb’s granddaughter, Joslynn, even did a 4-H project all about their peacocks, focusing on how they built a nest on top of a feed wagon for the hens. It’s moments like these that highlight the unique connection that can develop between humans and animals.

The photos shared by the Baier family capture the beauty and charm of these peacocks, each one showcasing their radiant feathers and distinctive personalities. It’s clear that these birds have found a happy and loving home with the Baiers.
