But would peach have barring like the blues? i see blue baby barring on it's upper body

X2. Peach could have barring if it's a barred wing, but if both parents are BS then the chick should be BS and would not have the barring.

If bird genetics are like human genetics you could get a peach even if dad has no peach genes. Even though it is the more unlikely outcome it is possible if it is a dominant gene.

The pigment this peachick has by it's tail,and feathers in both wings are not "customary" when breeding 2 bssp birds.We all know the percentages of what 3 possible colors or patterned chicks we can expect. This peachick does not resemble any of the 3 possible known variations. At least this color doesn't. If one parent is "x" colored,and another parent is "y" colored, regardless of which is dominate and what the percentages are,somewhere,sometime the recessive color will show up.It has too If this were not the case every peafowl would be india blue in color. Since all colors derived from IB.,Or am I missing something about dominance in colors? Even as bssp chicks starts to get pigment this is not that color. I've hatched several odd colored chicks this year from this pen that never has happened in the 2 years prior. The only thing diffrent this year is the addition of the peach hen.

I had to get pics,here is two of this new possible peach bssp. This is not dark or silver pied.The color resembles both the peach hens I have.

Doesn't look peach to me, too much dark colouring. Peach would be more orange in colour. I hatched a chick from what I suspect is my peach BS hen. Father unknown (could be bs dark pied white eyed or cameo/peach male). Chick hatched out completely yellow, not a pigment on it. Now, more than a week anda half later it's showing small amounts of colour on its inner shoulders (pic to follow). I'm looking forward to seeing what it turns out to be, but hoping male at least.

With more than one hen in there that is not BS, it's likely offspring from the pied looking bird.
