Identifying Some Peachicks

q8peafowl said:

These are some chicks that i'm still not sure about their color or gender,

1- I thought this one was a spalding bronze when he hatched, but now he has a lot of green on his neck, is he spalding? Mother could be bronze or spalding.






2- This is still a young guy, but if anyone had an idea on his color that would be great. He could be spalding or spalding bronze.



3- Is this a spalding bronze hen?





4- Is this male or female?







5- Male or female?



6- Male or female?



7- Spalding or spalding bronze?




Any help will be appreciated.

To early to tell but does not look like bronze.

3- Is this a spalding bronze hen?

Yes, looks like it.

Cannot tell yet. Don't see any striping.

5- Male or female?

Cannot tell yet. Don't see any striping.

6- Male or female?

Cannot tell yet. Don't see any striping.

7- Spalding or spalding bronze?

Cannot tell yet. Looks like a little bronzing coming in.

Well, I am not an expert by any means, but I sure have been spending a lot of time staring at my bronze chicks this year. I also have a spalding who is split bronze in with them and he is a dead ringer for your #1 (without the white throat latch), so I'm going to say spalding on that one. The bronze chicks don't really have any green on the neck yet and they are 16 weeks old now, the spalding had the green neck by 10 weeks.

That what i thought too



How old is #2, like I said my spalding had green feathers at 10 weeks, if #2 is older than 10 weeks I'll bet he's a Bronze spalding.


I think he almost 6 weeks now, until now he isn't showing any green feathers.

#3 looks like a bronze but the neck feathers look male to me not female.



#'s 4, 5, &6 are tough, nice silvers but hard to sex with so little color.

I'm guessing here so don't hold me to this, # 4 female, # 5 male, # 6 female.

That's what i think too, i'm thinking they could be all females or just one male, a trio would be great.


This guy has more colored feathers than your's but he did turn out to be a silver, they are faint but you can see stripes on the feathers on his back, my silver hen had no stripes up there on her back.

#7 how old? I see no green so I am thinking Bronze, but if he's really young I could be wrong. I THINK HE IS ALMOST 7 OR 8 WEEKS OLD.

Let me know how wrong I end up being!

LOL, how is your bronze bs guy? Any updated picture?

#1 definitely Spalding, likely dark pied

All the rest, be patient my padawan learner, the force is strong, but patience will reveal the truth....
