Peahens typically lay their eggs in a nest on the ground. The nest is usually hidden in vegetation and is made of leaves, twigs, and grass. Peahen will lay 3 to 5 eggs per clutch. The eggs are incubated by the peahen for 28 days, and the chicks hatch synchronously. The chicks are precocial, meaning that they are able to walk and feed themselves soon after hatching.
