Summarize the following:
Using hanging food dishes (hanging from the ceiling by chains) tends to keep mice from getting into the food. Keep the water elevated or protected in some way as well so that you do not get droppings in it. Alternatively, use a 3 or 4 gallon (11.4 or 15.1 L) bucket for water. Peacock chicks should get a high protein diet for their first 3 months of life. Look for a Game Bird feed crumble of about 25 to 30% protein. As they get older, begin to wean them off the crumble; too much protein in a grown peacock can cause serious leg deformities. After three months, the chicks should be weaned to either Game bird feed or Game bird pellets (Note that pellets are best for birds in cages with wire bottoms). This can generally be done using a 6 week transition schedule, but you should pay close attention to the response of your chicks. If they stop eating the feed, continue feeding them what they will eat and try again another day. The six week program is as follows:   Week 1: 3 parts crumble to 1 part adult food.  Week 2: 2.5 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 3: 2 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 4:1.5 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 5:1 part crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 6: .5 part crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 7: All adult food. While too many treats can cause health problems, giving your peacocks a little something special now and then can be helpful in keeping them from straying or to help them swallow medicine. To treat your peacock, consider giving him fruits, vegetables, bread, unsweetened cereals, dog food, or cat food. Do not give them small bones, as they may choke.
Provide food and water dishes. Feed the chicks. Begin to wean your chicks from the crumble. Give your peacocks occasional treats.
