Help with sexing & type

[melissa508]

I tried to get some closer new pics of my 5 peas. I know thers 2 BS , 2 IB & that 1 with the white flights which should be a F.

The 2 BS , I was wondering what color BS they are?, or if its too early to tell & any ideas on their sex..they dont look the same.

Also the 2 IB's..sexes?

Both of the BS are boys. No two BS look the same, even if all are of same color. Probably too early to tell if they are normal color BS or not yet.

The others are one boy 2 girl white eyeds. Second pic from bottom are the two girls. (last pic shows the boy, with the barring on wings/back)

How can you tell if birds are white eyed?

Kev, what do you think is this peach white eye ?

 

[melissa508]

Thanks. I have no way of knowing any of those peas backgrounds, theyre basically pot-luck. So what indicates white eyed?

 

[deerman]

Kev, is alot better at picking out the white eye by a pic.

I need them to be older, unless i know their background.

Sid of Texas peafowl was just here a week ago and was showing me how to see the white eye pattern in some bronze chicks I got, it is a tiny lacing of light coloring on the back feathers.

Yes, hard for me to tell from pics. Easier with bird in hand. Have a hard time seeing it in the peach, until older.

Yep,
I hear ya, I could only notice it in one of the 2 males pictured above myself, but would have completely over looked it if KEV hadnt had caught it. And definatley can see how it would be extremely hard to tell on the lighter colored birds, peach, cameo...

I hope Kev is OK.
