    Bought two new peachicks (pic)

    Hi I just bought two baby peachicks today. Never had peacocks/hens before, so this is rather new, I'm learning as much as I can! So anywho, I believe they are India Blue? I looked at pics of baby peafowl and though they were sold as day-old chicks, I think they are closer to about a week old...

    What gender is this chicken?

    Awesome, thanks all. By 'black sex linked' what do you mean? I know what sex-linked is, and obviously she's black, lol..But is that why she has the gold on her also?

    What gender is this chicken?

    Hi I'm wondering if anyone could confirm the gender of this chicken, plus any guesses as to its breed (definitely a mix, by the way) would be great! S/he's a few months old, about 3 months? I'd say a hen, as her feathers aren't pointed on her neck or tail like a rooster, plus her head...

    What breed are these chickens?

    Soo there's been some ideas thrown out there, the only real definite as to what these chookies may be is Black Copper Marans, yes? The others were disproved for reasons of number of toes or leg colour, though we have decided that whatever they are, the hens are one type but the rooster is...

    What breed are these chickens?

    Quote: Dorkings? Are you sure? I looked at pics of those and the chickens I'm asking aobut don't even vaguely look like that, they don't even have the white legs and 5 toes that Dorkings apparently have...

    What breed are these chickens?

    Quote: BCM would be Black Copper Maran? I just googled pictures of that breed, the rooster certainly has the same colouring to most of the pictures, but the hens not so much. These hens are totally black while the BCM's had those copper coloured feathers around the head. Plus, the eggs they...

    What breed are these chickens?

    Quote: I don't believe they have lacing, it could just be that the flash was on for the pictures and their feathers reflected it, I think the hens are completely black. (though one hen has two fully feathered chicks from that rooster, one chick has some white flight feathers which is interesting)

    What breed are these chickens?

    I'm in Queensland, in Australia. They came from a breeder who who was selling them at $10 per chick, that's all I know as they are a friend's chickens of whom I've taken a few fertile eggs to incubate and I'd like to know what breed the chickies will be!

    What breed are these chickens?

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could please tell me what breed these chickens are. I hope the pictures are good enough..my random guess was something like Australorp, but I honestly don't know. I don't think they are crossbreeds of anything.. Any input asap would be much appreciated, thank...
