I recently got two peacocks. The guy who sold us the peacocks didn't known there age. After about an hour of researching on google i still didn't find the answer. If any one has any tips pleas tell me
thanks

She asked How? Why not three? Wing feathers spur length? Build? How did you come to ur conclusion. Im curious myself

I'm no expert, but I would think that if he were turning three one would see a longer train, his looks just like mine that are turning two.

Yep the train feathers are not that of an older bird and his back feathers are not fully colored in yet. Once a peahen or peacock get to be 3 years of age and up it can be harder to tell the age of them.

The picture from the back confirms to me he is a two-year-old. Good genetics, good nutrition, and probably an early hatchling. Once they become four it is literally impossible to tell but you can look a the spurs and legs and see if they are really old.

Photos might be helpful if they are young but when they are older i do not know how you would be able to tell
