Cameo or Peach?

[Peafowlssssssss]

Mabe a cameo white eye? silver on back ,lots of white like a pied, with the cameo throwed in the mix, not sure if there is such a color but that is what i see when i look at all the different body colors

This cameo hen is also white eye, with two white eye genes, the opal hen is also white eye, i'm still hoping they aren't cameo, anything but cameo

Looks like maybe cameo and opal combined?

X2, I've really thought all along that they didn't look like regular Cameos.

Properly i will mate them with my cameo male and see if they will produce cameos.

I bought this peahen last year as a cameo w/e hen, now i'm curious if it could be peach?















First 3 images were taken under the sun light, all the rest were taken under the shade.

By the way, she has problems with her vision, not that bad, she almost acts normal, but she usually don't sleep on the perch like the others, will she pass this problem to her chicks?

Yup, it's a very strong gene!
And she will probably eventually go blind. I usually only hear of it in very light to white cameos though.

So sorry.

Well, i wasn't going to mate her with any male but then i placed her in the green birds pen, didn't think the green male will breed her but he did, so i will see if her offspring will have the same problem or not, if they did i will move her from their pen.

It's a heartbreaking thing. I got mine from a friend along with her daughter which was mated to an India blue. I noticed the daughter now is losing vision at roughly a year and half of age. My friend didn't realize it was blind since it was sighted as a chick and grew up there. She just thought she was "awfully calm"!

She was getting out of peafowl and she gave them to me for free not realizing. I didn't know til she was blind til she kept running into things.

Yours is a beautiful bird, it could also be something else causing it too as yours does NOT look like the typical hen to lose sight.

These are the typical cameos with the blind gene, they go to white older they get. Pardon my very dirty coop, was back before spring cleaning. But this is my sweet gal, she eats by listening to the chickens, would be perfect she says if I got rid of those darned mean guineas!
