2014 breeding season begins, post your results

I've never seen an Opal chick but maybe it could be an Opal and maybe the BS gene didn't pass, like your breeding pair was 50% Opal and 50% BS.

Definitely no opal, they are a very light gray clolor, raised one last year.

He's the smaller one.

7 out of 7 hatched.

Is the green pile, cooked greens? Bowl is corn?

Yes it is spinach from my garden and scrambled eggs from my hens

so far we have collected 16 eggs. My friend has 6 eggs under a broody and 5 out 6 show development. I put 3 into our incubator and our pied hen is sitting on 7 eggs. We have to watch her nest as our male was bothering her,

Are cameo genetic mutations of IB's? When you breed them do you still have a chance of getting a certain number of IB's? I know nothing about peafowl genetics so I maybe way off base here.

When you breed cameo x cameo you will only get cameo chicks, but when you breed cameo(male) x india blue(hen) you will get cameo hens and india blue males split cameo.

Cameo white eye peacock:

Could anyone tell me which color is this?

My friend took the egg from the pen and marked it with number 7, pen number 7 is opal bs sp, i'm sure this chick not a black shoulder at all.
Closest pen is the cameo pen, do you think this is a cameo chick?

It is quite possible that it is a purple, it is not cameo. Where did the parent stock of opal bs sp come from? The opal bs sp male could be split to purple, and could have fathered a chick of this colour if the mother was not blackshoulder.

The opal bs sp male came from leggs peafowl farm, he is penned with two opal bs sp hens that came from the same farm.

What puzzles me more, that this chick egg looks the same like the other eggs i got from this pen(i got 4 this was the only one fertile).

Don't know if this will be any help, but here is my opal chick with a purple chick on either side, just for comparison.
