Indian blue males normally have blue not green, the hens have green on their necks. So odd, maybe the test got mixed up, or we all are wrong lol

I called them just now.
I actually sent in 3 samples (feathers)
The first one was so delayed when Covid broke loose their mail was all messed up and we decided they were gone so I sent in new samples.( They went ahead and tested the late ones)
Both tested Male.
I started thinking the same way as y'all. Thinking he was a she, so I sent in new samples.
Once again Male
Crazy! The woman I spoke with said they do many Peafowl and she really thinks that sense all 3 tested Male, then Male he should be.
She was very nice.

His neck feathers are definitely green, not blue
Go figure????

That is so cool, maybe it has some green blood line in it? i believe that if they do their neck feathers will be green first and start getting some blue to them as they get older.

It could be hemimorphite, but it ain't no cock.

I thought so too so I sent the third sample in. I was shocked when it came back ‘male’
I thought I would send some better photos
I’m still trying to find out where the parents came from. Some farm, I don’t think breeders

 

[sseabass]

OK. Y’all have probably realized I haven’t visited BackYard often.
I have sent even less photos
Sorry for all of the deprecates

Your photos are fine, I just wonder if somehow the feathers you sent in were contaminated giving a false reading. I have never sent in feathers, always trim a talon and send in a drop of blood.
I think that in about four weeks there will be no doubt in the sex of the chick, don't waste any more money on DNA testing.
