Flaring like a male but? Sexing is hard!

This is my first peafowl. Can anyone give a guess as to gender?

Is there more Barred feathers growing in? The Barring Sean's spread apart so could be a hen?

I know nothing about gender. Just here to say I’m obsessed with the little feathers on the head so cute.

He/She has mites (I believe) so I've been bathing him/her in diatomaceous earth so the colors/barring is subdued. I see a little iridescent green on the feathers behind the head. It has rusty underwings (the ones that hang down a bit). The barring isn't very strong but it is there in places. In one post someone mentioned the chest feathers might help sex but they didn't specify how.

Peahen chicks will have Barring also

Pic 1 is a peahen and pic 2 is a peacock

Still probably too early to tell but I'm going to guess a hen

Likely hen. Stop with the DE dust bathing, it is harmful to the lungs.

How old is yours? So cute!
Mine is 6 weeks old and I also have no clue whether it is a peacock or a peahen. Welcoming guesses, although I was told it is probably too soon to know.
