Peafowl Identification

[old biddy]

The following photos are of my beautiful peafowl family.

Photo #1: This is Rainbow, my original peacock and daddy to six peachicks. Rainbow is about 4 or 5 years old. I am wondering if he is a typical India Blue or if he shows any Spaulding traits or color variations.

Photo #2 is Anastasia, Rainbow's mate and mama to the six peachicks. Same questions.

Photo #3 is Wolfgang, Rainbow and Anastasia's first hatched out clutch by surrogate chicken hen. Born May 5, 2018. Same questions.

Photo #4 is Victoria, also Born May 5, 2018. Same questions.

Photo#5 is Bella, also Born May 5, 2018. Same questions. (She is a Black Shoulder and I believe she is a hen...but not absolutely sure.

Photo #6 is Sam for Samuel or Samantha - not sure of gender...born on August 3, 2018 in second clutch. Same questions.

Photo #7 is Heathcliff or Heather - not sure of gender. Black Shoulder...born on August 3, 2018. Same questions.

Photo #8 is Gilly for Gilcrist or Cat for Caitriona - not sure of gender. Black Shoulder ... born on August 3, 2018. Same questions. (Note: I know it looks like #8 is the same bird as #7 but actually the birds traded places just as we were about to take the photo.)

Thanks to all for any comments - I want to be able to describe each one correctly if and when I put them up for sale.

The last ones look like silver pied, and the first is a beautiful cinnamon-winged blue India. The silver-laced look like they might have some spaulding in them. You have very nice birds!

Thank you - I would like to know what distinctions tell you there is spaulding in them?

I'm sorry! I meant the silvers second from last (green chest) look like spaldings. You can tell by their green carriage and white throat patches.

Normal run of the mill india blues and india blue blackshoulders. The adult male also appears to be split blackshoulder.

Can you confirm gender for the chicks? (photos 5 - 8)

All hens.

If it was the sign of BS split ....
why only on the males ??
I want to see a picture of a female blue split BS ... be a gray bird with brown pink spots on the wings!

Thanks so much, Dany12. Of course now I have so many more questions! What characteristics tell you that Photo #1 has small level spaulding?
