Not sure where you are in PA, but there's some near me in the center part of PA.

Why in the world would you want them? I used to live about 1/2 a mile from them and all the noise they made was unbelievable.

I'm in Ohio. My boss used to have them, and hatched some. Their property was known as the "peacock place". But over the last couple years, the fox and such have got them or they got hit on the road (they aren't the smartest cookies in tin), and now they have none. They'd like to have some again, but would like to hatch or raise them from babies. They are experienced at hatching chicken eggs, so I think they could handle it. Thanks for any advice you can offer on where to get some, though.

I meant where you are in Ohio. Hands typed faster than the brain could proofread.

LOL. I wondered why you were thinking PA. I am in Findlay....NW Ohio. I don't think they would mind driving, however.

There's an auction in Ohio that often has peacocks. I think it's west of Pittsburgh.
