Hey there, why dontcha send in your (Pea)Chick Pix!

Thanks for that Trefoil!
It sounds like it might be useful to cross reference the spaulding (spalding) variations?
For example, to have Spaulding Bronze under the Bronze category, and also have a Spaulding category that shows all variations of Spauldings?
This is all new territory for me, so I really welcome suggestions!

Thanks you guys!

BTW DylansMom, do you want me to use something other than "DylansMom" for your watermark?
And also, please let me know if you want something different for your watermark, KsKingBee.

You can watermark it with whatever you want.

What you have been doing is fine with me.

Upon further review we should tag my chicks Cameo Black Shoulder instead of Oaten. Thank you, carry on.

Got it!

Although I kind of like the sound of "Oaten." So I'm leaving it in, too!

You can use my BS peahen photos. She's 3 months old. I don't think she is a Spalding but you can you guys give me your opinions. I still need help identifying the peafowl that have low Spalding blood. I know that the face is suppose to be triangle and I think I got the hang of it but I'm not 100% sure. I think she's a regular BS peahen. She looks like a normal BS peahen right?

I do not see anything that would make me think she is spalding, however if the % is low enough you may not ever see any tell tale traits.

Thank you. I think it's safe to say that I'm getting the hang of it on knowing how to identify a Spalding chick and when they don't based on their phenotype.

Spalding:


10 days old chick.


5 weeks old chick(male).





Spalding chick 2 weeks old.


Their mom spalding pied hen.

Somehow, I missed these ones earlier, q8peafowl.
I guess that little Spalding chick is pied?
