This peachick came out of a pen with a Blackshoulder peacock, a Blackshoulder Spalding peahen, and an Opal Spalding peahen. There was an India Blue split White peahen with them but she was let out to free range, so it might be from her. I sent pictures of the peachick to a peafowl breeder and was told it is a sex-linked colored peahen. Any ideas of what color she is?







I do have pictures of her when she was around two days old, but I just thought these recent pictures would help more.
Please post below what you think, and if you want you can do the poll too.
 
I see a white flight meaning split to white, possibly a cameo sex linked color and a female as well ( with one copy of that sex linked color gene). I thinks she is also a spalding. A SPALDING CAMEO SPLIT TO WHITE HEN ?? Absolutely stunning color. congrats.

I also noticed white flights. Well there also was a white peacock in the pen but he was also released with the India Blue Split to White peahen to free-range.

This is a purple peachick from Legg's Peafowl...

Could you post pictures of peach, purple, or cameo peachicks please. Comparisons always help.
 
Ok, I pulled a cameo and a purple from the brooder and I think it is cameo. They are much more cream colored like yours. Of course, I think the chick I pulled was purple. I don't get many that are not blackshoulder. It was dark and raining cats and dogs. Maybe tomorrow I can get a picture.
 
Peach would be nice...but I think that is not likely. I will be waiting for the pictures, thanks.
