Favorite breed,or color mutation?

There's really only 2 "breeds"- india blue and java green (i'm lumping the sub species of java here). I vastly prefer the india blue.

If you're asking which color mutation (all the color mutations belong to the india blue species), then I would definitely say Opal.

For me it's emerald spalding or emerald silver spalding ... where men make better than nature!
But I like green peacock too!

either

I want to get peafowl but there are a bunch of mutations and a couple breeds so I figured I'd ask you guys what you like the best or have observed. Hardiness/friendliness/beauty/etc

Beauty,,and total genetic package all in one,???? Hands down,Black Shouldered Silver Pieds!!!!!
The "prettiest" color?? Around here my wife and daughter favor our Midnight B/S male the most

Bronze blackshoulder are one of my favourites, and I prefer most colours in the blackshoulder pattern.

Whites are my favs, i can find the flock easer when they are in the woods or far off in the pasture by the tree line.
My whites are also much tamer for some reason , always the first to start eating out of my hand which in turn showed the others that it was safe to eat out of my hand, the whites will even take food out of my mouth.
IB's are my favorite colors, weather they are pieds or blackshoulders.

Zazouse,,throw about 8 of those white eggs in the mail to me,,Pea Palace needs a pen of whites

Maybe next year, my white females turn a year next month, i am keeping my pied male and my split white male and selling my other IB males so i am guaranteed to have pied or whites from the breedings, i will be happy to sneak you some eggs via Mail . keep your fingers crossed for next year all my hens that are not white have white flights even my cameo so i am hoping for lots of varity from them
