You could leave her in there until you get the other hens and introduce them together that might make it easier unless space is a problem but I dont think your gonna have any issues especially with males that young. Keep an eye on them and keep us posted. You should post pics when you finalize...

If it were a rooster Id say longer but Im assuming its an IB hen should not be an issue as the males will not mind and its 7 acres in the country thats why I said to monitor. If the run is big enough they could leave it longer but it sounds like they want her part of the family. Gerald Barker

Keep her in the run for a week so she knows she belongs there, then leave the door open in the morning and she will venture out, monitor the flock. She should be fine and keep us posted. Gerald Barker

Edit: I forgot to mention or elaborate further about breeding for higher % birds. In this situation if possible, its better to try and use unrelated birds i.e. like using a different pure hen. Ive got some videos and pics on my fb: https://www.facebook.com/bobsgreenpeafowl/ Gerald Barker

They are all gorgeous just some brighter than others. You can always pick a spalding hen out of the crowd. As for %'s yes it goes something like that but it takes many years to produce a pattern or color due to the maturation times in peafowl. Ive found that its easier to just buy the type birds...

You are on it Sir. The yellow on purer adult Greens will be more defined and not smear. That is true, American bred greens are shorter but thats also very true with American bred blues. Edit: A good adult green rooster will have a crest like icicles, tall and pointy and the hen should be tall...

Nice read and great explanation on the fractions @birdrain92. After 15/16 it gets really hard to tell sometimes . Its usually the birds height and crest that gives an HP Spalding rooster away but, its the hens color and patterns that usually gives them both away. Edit: Ps: a good green hen...

Nice going Kingbee! Gerald Barker

Yes, he will stick to them like a magnet and wow are you lucky to get 3 hens, the common ratio is 2 to 1 or all 3 roosters. Contact kskingbee as Im pretty sure he has what you need and he ships, there are several on here that can help but he's the only one I can remember right now. Others will...

If you had a pure green hen yes the chicks would be considered 50/50 spaldings. If you put a spalding hen under him then your chicks will have less green blood and so on. Still gorgeous birds regardless. Gerald Barker

Green hens are almost as colorful as the males without the train and a little subdued. Blue hens are almost the opposite of the males so when it comes to a spalding you never know how she will look because of the contrast between the hens in the species. The purity of Greens will definetley show...

Zaz is special for sure and just might be the exception. Gerald Barker

Spaldings 50/50 usually free range very well and tolerate the cold very well. The higher up you go on the purity scale is when you normally run into issues, Greens especially the males will roam and really dont free range well, some have tried and it works up until they are of breeding age and...

HP spalding eggs will be as hard to find as pure greens to be honest. Just some advice when it comes to greens and spaldings, there are many breeders (I will not call them out by name here as that is not fair and not what this section is about) that will sell spalding eggs and call them HP or...

Outstanding rooster! Bam! Gerald Barker
