How are you going to sex Whites and Silver Pieds? they don't have Brown feathers, but you can sex them if you know what to look for same goes for the Muticus type birds some look the same as well with the brown.

Clinton , lot of incorrect info here.

White can be sex before they are a year.
BS at 4 months the green color in the neck ,female have the green feathers also.
Something wrong if you need to wait till 2 yr to sex peafowl.

Hi Frank It's okay . I decided to get back into a few peafowl to let free range and of course most are going to be males knowing my luck.

Yoda,
Thankyou for your photoes of your beautiful white peacock in new 2nd adult plumage and with new train feathers.

When your 2 year old white peacock hatched (date of birth) ???

Do you have 2-year-old IB peacocks ???

I had never seen the photoes of 2-year-old IB peacocks, can you please send me the photoes of 2-year-old IB & BS peacocks ???

Also I'd like photoes of opened wings of both white and IB 2-year-old peacocks please so I can see the moult pattens and I will tell you the date of when they finish wing moult.

Cheers

Clinton.

Ricky,
Regarding tail feathers, white peachicks can be sexed only when you have a flock of birds, as male peachicks have longer central tail feathers and are taller than female peachicks.

You don't raise peafowl do you? because if you did then you would know what to look for when walking through your pens. I have been doing this for a little over 15 years, but now at 60 yrs old my eyesight isn't as good as it once was but I can still look at them and tell you what they are, once in a while I get it wrong but I'm only human. Most of use that raise these birds have different ages and sizes running together so what you are saying WON'T work. But keep trying.

Hi Ricky,
I don't have peafowls at home as I lives in a house I renting in a rural town Thames, New Zealand.
I had peafowls for 2 years 1994-1995, to study the moults.

Today I still am working on moult of peafowls, which are still largely unknown.

Moults from 27th day of age, to 22 months old had been studied, but moults of peafowls between 22 months old and 45 months old are not been studied and are unknown.

Peafowls have 5 plumages. Juvenile, immature, 1st adult, 2nd adult and adult.
