Many thanks again Dylan's Mom. So my purple is correctly called a purple bar winged? And sorry, I didn't catch what you thought my pea chick might turn out, color wise, as?
OK, I cannot remember what this hen color is called. She acts like a cock, fans her tails etc., beats up my Marans...

I was trying to see...
Thanks everyone. So what do is my purple peacock actually called? just purple? If so, then what would his one baby be, color wise? Many thanks again everyone, these bird genetics confuse me a bit ROFL
Hi…I'm pretty sure the one cock is a purple black shoulder…that is what I was told when I bought from a peafowl farm in the midwest. Here is a better pic of him compared to the India blue. You can see he is definitely purple necked.

Many thanks!
