How does peacock care for its young?

Peacocks, or male peafowl, do not directly care for their young, as it is the peahen (female) that takes on the responsibility of nurturing the chicks. After laying eggs, the peahen incubates them for about 28 days until they hatch. Once the chicks are born, the mother leads them to food and water, teaching them essential survival skills while keeping them safe from predators. The chicks are precocial, meaning they can walk and feed themselves shortly after hatching, but they still rely on their mother's protection and guidance in their early days.
