    Well there's a problem though. Two of them are Spaldings, this makes things a lot harder. Based on color and pattern of the neck and breast feathers you would have one male and two hens. Based on barring, three males.

    Greens can be more antsy though. I do love the noise they make though. The video of your High % Spalding peacock trying to breed the one hen. The sound he made reminded me of a velociraptor from Jurassic Park.

    Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but peahens will call as well. Not as much as males, but they still do a locating call and an alarm call. So long as they have friends they don't do locating calls as much. I just felt like you should know that even peahens call.

    If you don't mind me asking why would you have to seek your home if they were males?

    Looks like an Indian Blue Pied peacock, low % Spalding peahen, and a pair of Spalding Black Shoulder peafowl.

    He's still holding on to that barring. Right now he's still showing male characteristics. Please give an update in the next month. I want to say it's safe to say male but just to be sure.

    In these photos issue three peafowl that are probably Spaldings. Two are in the second photo. The one with grey and the one with the black laced shoulders seem Spalding like. Tight crest. In the first photo the male on the far right is also Spalding like. Tight crest again.

    They're low enough Spaldings the weather won't be an issue if they can get out of the elements.

    One of my Indian Blue chicks from this year. One month old in the photo. 2 month old Indian Blues. See the crest makes a fan shape.

    Spalding peafowl usually have a tight crest. Indian peafowl have a fanned crest. Depending on how much percentage of Green peafowl blood they have. Some Spaldings are more obvious than others.

    Seems like male. But since it's a Spalding it may show its true colors later.

    Looking at the crest, could be a Spalding which can make things more difficult.

    Welcome to Spalding peafowl. Spalding peafowl can be more difficult. Some Spalding hens will keep faded barring instead of losing the barring completely. Which can lead you to thinking they're males. Especially when you're not expecting it.

    2 males and 1 female. In the second picture, the peachick with the straight upward crest with the barring on the wings fading, that's the female, and she's a Spalding.

    Yes. Sometimes you can keep two males together so long as there are no hens.

    Depends on species and variety. Most can be sexed around 3 weeks to 3 months. Peafowl can be sexed about 100% accuracy when they are around 8 months to 1 year.

    Spaldings are hybrid between the Indian and Green species. Spaldings tend to have more color than Indian peafowl if % is high enough. High % means closer to Green species while low % means closer to the Indian species.

    I wonder if it could possibly be a low % Spalding hen maybe? I sort of want to say male because the defined barring up front but then the farther back the more it fades. I know Spalding hens can get some barring on them. This chick has me confused. I'm trying to remember if there's a way to sex...
