The black dusting on the front of his shoulders near his neck is often an indicator that a male bird is split to blackshoulder.Can you tell me what characteristics tell you he is a split blackshoulder?
Pardon me for butting in, but this is so fascinating! It never occurred to me that peacocks had breeds, too! Could you point me to a thread/site/? that details more about domesticated peafowl in US-breeds, uses, showing/SOP,......I don't want to raise them, I'm just nosy.
I also found this site with descriptions and images of varieties: http://peacockgirl.tripod.com/Peafowl_Variet/Database_Homex.html
Thoughts?

Your peacock has spots of color on the wings that proves that in these ancestors there was crossing with green peacocks or with spalding. It is like 'pollution' of the genome. Create spalding is interesting if the percentage of green blood ... is high ...! Why, ... because it causes a change in the shape of the bird body ... they have a longer neck, ... longer legs ... and that gives them a more elegant look ... more graceful ... a wild look!
Low percentage of green blood ... so low spaulding ... it brings nothing!
.... all color ...
