Peafowl Cost tools: what they help with
These calculators estimate what a peafowl really costs: the first-year setup, ongoing monthly spending and one-off bills like boarding or vet visits. Money is one of the main reasons animals are given up. Knowing the realistic cost of a peafowl before it arrives makes the whole arrangement more stable.
What to know about cost and budgeting for peafowl
With a lifespan of 15-20 years, a peafowl is a long-running cost, not a one-off purchase. Budget for vet care too: blackhead disease from shared ground with chickens and internal parasites are common in peafowl.

A practical tip
Replace the default prices with quotes from your own area where you can. Local vet and food prices vary a lot, and that is where most of the cost sits.
