Sandy said her husband had phoned her up on Monday, “ever so excited” and revealed they had a new addition at the farm in the form of the peacock.
The bird initially was enjoying time with the chickens, but by the next day he decided he had enough of his friends in the coop.
“On Tuesday morning he was still here and when I let the chickens out he just went loopy,” Farmer Tom said.
“He flew at the chickens, eventually he separated the cockerel from the hens and he chased the cockerel.”
Farmer Tom believed the peacock was asserting his dominance and despite the bird running riot on his land, he was able to capture it and get it safely in a pen.
“He thinks he rules the roost,” Sandy added.
“He chases the cockerel all over everywhere so we’ve had to shut him up.”
