Anybody have time with lots of eafowl color help?

I have really tried to look this up but it gets so confusing. I have 2 cocks and 4 hens. 1 cock is the indie blue barred shoulder and the other is indie blue black shoulder. My barred shoulder has some white wing feathers. I dont know about there past ( actually the black shoulder flew into my yard and i never found the owners) i have 2 purple peahens, 1 black shoulder peahen and a white peahen. 1 purple is 5 the rest are all 2 year olds. From my indie blue and the purple i have hatched indie blue and whites. Is there any other color combinations i could get from my colors? If somebody could really dumb it down for me I would appreciate it.

A 'split' factory !

You will produce splits of all kinds and you will never know who is who!

You have to do 2 or 3 groups ... two/three aviaries! ... to do a good job.
Buy a Peacock Purple and put it with purple peahens ► next year you have purple peahens for sale! ... bingo !!
The blue peacock + the blue peacock BS with the white peahen and the blue BS peahen ... attention 2 males in the same aviary it can do BOUM!

I actually ordered a purple peacock chick I'll be picking up in the fall. So will that cock and purple hens only have purple chicks. Its so confusing for me

Two birds of the same mutation color will produce all chicks of the same color.

Thank you.

Agreed, Besides pied and silver pied birds breeding two birds of the same color or pattern together will give you more of the same color. Mixing colors will only give birds that resemble IB's on the outside. Besides White, Pied, White Eyed, Silver Pied, and SOMETIMES blackshoulder there is no way to know whether a bird is split to something.
