Very pretty.  Tough to tell age, but young and no train this year for sure.

Here is my pied he will be a year old in july, i think he is a white eyed as all his tail feathers are frosted at the ends but time will tell. Funny thing is neither of his parents had any white like a pied or split white but the breeder gets these pieds out of the mating.

Yep it looks like just a young peacock. If you watch him for a while you will notice his chest will start to have less and less white feathers and get more dark feathers in their place. Also he will start to get some blue under his chin and upper neck.

Wanted: Pure Indo-Chinese (Imperator) peafowl, I also want a new pen!
