Chick Pics for New 2 and Our Chart

[DylansMom]

Thank you for your help, I am trying to find unusual chicks and documenting their progress as they age and these stand out.

I am confused though about the First one as you and I went through a process last year with three Cameo chicks of which two turned out to be CBS. Those two started out yellow and progressed as BS with black/gray feathers on their backs, so now I don't know what to think. I still have them although I am now having a hard time telling them apart at times. One of them has a feather or two with barring.

The one I think is the Cameo cock is the one with the darkest head, front here and the CBS behind it with the lighter head.





Front center and top right bird.



Here is one of the CBS (?) chicks last October.









I don't know what to think now.

As for the IBSP, that would add a lot more to the genetic makeup of the cock wouldn't it? He is already quite the Heinz 57.

I remember us following several BS chicks last year, but I do not remember any of them that had black/dark gray feathers turning out to be Cameos. As a rule I think all BS chicks start out light/white in color and slowly darken into their adult plumage, none that I know of darken and then lighten back up. The cameos in your pictures above have no black/ dark gray feathers now do they? So the ones with those dark feathers had to end up as IBBS. Your 10/2 photo is a beautiful example of a Cameo BS and I see no feathers that are darker than tan or brown, and so that is how I would ID him as a Cameo.

But, but, but, I got new pics of Salt-n-Pepper...

Six weeks old and now showing a tint of brownish tan.



S-n-P on right with five-week-old IBBS Pied WE on left, these two are not leaving the farm.




A five-week-old Purple split Pied, father is Purple BS, mother may be Cameo split Pied.


Feeding frenzy.



Seven week old Loud Pied is always first to be hand fed.

Just to check...was it the general consensus that Salt 'n' Pepper is BSSP????

@casportpony - White and IB pictures are great too! And I really like posting your scale pictures, because people can follow the development of an individual peababy - I think it's really helpful. More scale pictures please!

And by the way, don't any of the rest of you have peababy progress pictures??? @q8peafowl ?? @zazouse - we need pictures of your Greenbabies! @MinxFox any baby pictures????

OK, you all think I'm a pest now, sorry.

BTW, here's the link to the Chick Chart: http://peafowlimagedatabase.weebly.com/peachick-chart.html
I tried again, without success, to get the administrators to put the link to our Image Database on the Peafowl Stickies Index, any new ideas about how to accomplish this???

Yes, and it was confirmed by Brad Legg that S-n-P is IBBSSP

Well all the peachicks I hatched are sold. I did just take some photos of my peahen's chicks though. IB 3 weeks old. If you want I can send some pictures of Ice to put for yearling White peacock. Even though most of them are rather him on my arm or in his fair pen with his ribbons. If you want some pictures of Ice with me in them or his pen with his ribbons I'll post them just say the word.
