Help me sex my peafowl? PICTURES FIXED

jhauser,
You've got two pretty girls there, one BS and one IB split to BS (or at least that's what our IB split to BS girl looks like).

And...

Oh, sorry! The light one is BS.
So, just to confess, I only have experience with one IB split to BS hen, our hen Chicken Girl
As far as I can tell, IB split BS hens look almost like IB hens, but Chicken Girl had a bit more white on her face when young than our regular IB hens, and she has speckling on her tail like your girl does, that the other IB girls don't have.
Here's a (not very good) picture of CG:

Thank you so much for the info !! I thought I had one of each... Penny and Peter- Peter the darker one wil need a new name :)
 
Hi Thank you very much now I know my 2 are peahens!! Here's my next question ...
I want to add a peacock in with them. They are 6 months old now & I found a peacock for sale who is about the same age as my girls.
Here's my questions: is it better to get him now, since they are still young? Or is t ok to wait another 6 mo to 1 yr before adding a peacock with my girls? I am in the process of a home remodel and my husband would prefer I wait, but if sooner rather than later is better for my birds he is ok with that too! Any help / advice would be great!

Also, what's the best way to introduce?
