Please help sex my peafowl!

I got some pictures of them.

I'm not getting my hopes up too high for a pair, as they are both dark

Two hens.

I'm back! Here are pictures of my sweet Spalding peachick, who is now close to 10 weeks old. Can we tell yet if it will be a peahen or a peacock?

Hen.

Yaaaaayyy!!!!

Thank you, @KsKingBee - now I don't have to sell my home and move way out to the country. I love this bird.

If you don't mind me asking why would you have to seek your home if they were males?

Oh, I'm on an old farmstead which has been surrounded by the city in recent years. I am sure the noise of a male would not be tolerated. I have a big, wooded lot alongside a creek, and a barn-turned-aviary... but there are ordinances against roosters.

Oh, thank you so much! It is good to be reassured. Little P and I had a lovely morning out foraging. She will eat clover, dandelion and grass. The land is organic, so she can choose what she pleases. This hen will be cherished all her days.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but peahens will call as well. Not as much as males, but they still do a locating call and an alarm call. So long as they have friends they don't do locating calls as much. I just felt like you should know that even peahens call.

But hens don't scream bloody murder...

Thank you, I appreciate any peahen info that I can get.

This little girl honks now and again, but it is much quieter than our wild Canada geese. She has a Black Copper Maran pullet that has been her pal since Day 2 in the brooder, and they are now in the barn together. Hopefully, that should help her be happy and content.

Do you think a second peahen would be a better companion for her?
