@ellymayRans she does look like her Momma! How old is your pullet? Those are nice size eggs! I'm really excited to see what my girl lays now!!

I will have to look back at my records but I know it was last year. My other phone needs a new battery and that's where my pics are from when she hatched but I'm thinking last April.

Oh and I can see your girls comb hasn't even really developed. She will be awhile still. Looks like you didn't get eggs til July maybe. All of my Marans take forever to lay! Worth it though. So usually 8-10 mos!

I would say hen if it's a year old but doesn't look white to me. Looks more Cameo

She/he isn't quite white, that's true. I could only find info about the traditional colors (like Blue Indian) and don't know what to call her. I just Googled Cameo and that is exactly what the colors are-very creamy not pure white.

my guess is a hen...but here is a place where a lot of experienced peafowl breeders are they will have the answer

Thank you! I tried finding threads specific to peafowl and for some odd reason the peafowl sexing thread is locked. Not sure how to join a locked thread. I've posted on this thread and can't wait to hear what people think!

I figured she would be a while yet. She was a late august hatch.

Does anyone on this thread breed Mille Fluer cochin bantams? I am starting a project and am in search of a hen...but I wanted to see if there was something around here before I go elsewhere to look?

This is the chick at a week old.

Here the chick is at 2 weeks. Anyone have any guesses?

We have a nice hen but no rooster yet

I got my first eggs today from my girls since they stopped laying.

Judging from the size of the two eggs they look like pullet eggs so I think my 2 buckeyes that didn't start laying before our shorter days have finally started and as i hatched them in June and they are a heritage breed i knew i'd not be getting eggs in the fall. I kinda knew they would be laying soon from their behaviors just not sure when. Now the others need to be inspired to follow them lol.
