Peacocks, specifically male Indian peafowls, do not build nests themselves; instead, they rely on females, called peahens, to choose nesting sites. Peahens typically lay their eggs in a shallow scrape on the ground, often hidden among vegetation to provide protection from predators. They can lay between 3 to 12 eggs, and after a 28-day incubation period, the chicks hatch and are precocial, meaning they can walk and feed themselves shortly after birth.
