I'm new to peafowl, but from what I've learned so far I'm pretty sure they have to be three or four months old before you can sex them, so I think your little one is too young to tell yet.

How old is the chick? I would have to guess the chick is around 2 weeks old and I think it looks like the wings are clipped.

Actually the youngest age I've been able to sex them accurately is three weeks of age is when I say is the youngest age while being accurate. Though at times when they are a day old you take a guess and sometimes you get lucky and other times not so lucky. I think that peachick is probably around 2 weeks is what I'm going to guess for age.

I have another that's only two days old that looks female... will start a new thread with pictures of her.

yes wings are clipped , as she/he was flying up to the top of our fireplace and its over 7' high and hard to get he/she down.. so can still fly just can't get as high anymore..

age i'm guess about 3 weeks.. this would be the 2nd week i've had her/him.. i can ask the breeder on hatch date.
