I hatched these guys in an incubator. They were born June 29th. They are almost 9 weeks old. We have never had peacocks before but are so super excited. We are REALLY hoping for at least one male.... of course, right?
We bought the fertile eggs from a woman who had a solid white peacock, and 2 India Blue hens. So they are cross breed. Does the white feather on their wings stay white? Will they mostly display the blue and green colors?
I have read there are several ways to sex them. None of which I fully understand. Any advise would be WONDERFUL! Also, they BOTH have started getting their beautiful green colors on the back and neck.... but very little. One does seem a slight bit bigger also.
Do both peahens and peacocks get green on the back of the neck?
Thanks!!
This is "Twilight"

"Twilight" - Can you see the green?
This is the smaller one "Tootles" (its hard to see actual size difference by the way he/she is being held)
"Tootles" (There is much less green than Twilight)
"Tootles"

And YES..... My kids did name them. lol
Thanks again! Please help tell me if they are male or female......
