Peacock or Peahen??

I am going to guess that the one on the right is male. I know it is a 50/50 chance but the lacing is starting to show on this one.

What color is the one on the left?

Purple pied.

Help please experienced Peacock/Peahen People
My broody hen has hatched 2 Pea-chicks, to whom I have given medication to prevent coccidiotis (may have spelt that wrong) and blackleg from birth.

I would appreciate every support in advising me regarding how I bring them up e.g. when they go from chick crumbs to pellets; when they should leave Mother Hen and how I introduce them to "pea-cock life".

Thank you

Hummm not sure about the photo enlarging. So that looks like the verdict then, 1 peacock and 3 peahens.......

Was hoping for a sexing opinion. Peachick is about 3 months old.

Looks like a male to me. Males have barring on the shoulder, females havea solid brown wing.
