is she is carrying 1copy for beards/muffs, then half the chicks will be bearded/muffed. Of she carries 2 copies then all the chicks will be bearded/muffed

Also, about half the chicks will be silver base color, like the rooster and half will be gold/red like the hen, but not sexlinked. Males will likely develop black chests, like their father. Pullets will likely be patterned similarly to the hen.

Also he looks to carry both silver and gold . Golden Duckwing .The yellow tint in the saddle area gives this away . So you will get both silver and partridge pullets from him . So in cockerels you will get Golden Duckwing like him and Partridge cockerels .

There have been a few cases where peafowl have successfully produced offspring with chickens.

mating different species is sometimes successful, I saw a cross between a horse and a zebra when I was in Tanzania. However inter-species breeds usually result in sterile offspring due to genetic mismatching. I would think the same would be true with 'pea-ckens'. Otherwise I would think the inter-breed would have already established itself naturally

Amelia, here is another pic of my boy.

Wow, he is beautiful. I didn't know EE's could have crests as well as beards/muffs!
