Can you tell if it's a male or female?

I don't have much experience with Spaldings but I'm going to guess female since the barring is fading. The tight crest feathers shows it's a Spalding. Spaldings can be fun since some will look different than others. This is my Spalding peahen. I showed her at the county fair through FFA!

So just to be clear. The first set of pics I posted are male IB and the second is a female Spalding? (I know nothing is for sure at this age)

You can't tell spalding genders at this age, you need to wait more time. Spaldings are hybrids between green and india blue peafowl.

The IB is a yes. Depending on how much green peafowl blood will determine how easy it will be to sex the peachick. If the percentage has low green blood the sooner and easier it is to sex them, more green harder. Green peachicks look similar even if they are different sexes. The Spalding I would wait. I was only giving a guess since I see less barring but some Spalding males do that. They are weird.
