    Peachick male or female?

    You are doing something very right about how you are raising her, as she has grown tremendously since the last pic, which I believe was only 5 weeks ago. Congratulations on a fine looking bird.

    ***RARE*** My White Peacock!

    Hi. You peafowl isnt White at all. It is, as was already stated, a very nice looking Black Shouldered Peahen. The Black Shouldered is a color phase of the India Blue race of peafowl which has been known for at least a couple of hundred years. The Black Shouldered are actually my favorite of...

    How to hatch peacock eggs

    The first thing is to have eggs from healthy, well-fed hens. After that, most any way that will reliably hatch other poultry should hatch peafowl as well. In the past I have had great success at hatching several hundred peafowl eggs using two different GQF incubators, under bantam or game...

    Question for BS experts (and I mean that in the nicest possible way)...

I could have told you about a month ago, if there had been a picture showing what this one does, the upper back. To me, and this is just how I know, which may be different than the...

    Help on type and sex of peachicks

    Hello There. Perhaps I can be of some help here. Your peafowl are definitely India Blue, and not Black Shouldered. Baby B/S are a yellowish with pink (think baby deer) wing feathers. Later they will be mottled white with dark brownish-black, larger mixed areas for the males, and a more...

    Peachick male or female?

    Hello. New here, but I have raised peafowl for almost 40 years now. I can tell you that it is a Black Shouldered Peafowl, but I cannot tell the sex at this age. It would need to be at least 2 months old before I could tell for sure. The males are identifiable by larger black areas on the...
