Have you tried to reach out to this breeder? If they do not have them, perhaps they may be of help with getting some. https://www.peacocksuk.com/

We met Nigel and Suzanne last month at the UPA convention in Oklahoma, beautiful people for sure. They probably don't have any Hybrid Silver Pied but do have Silver Pied I know.

I had to do that here too, it took many years to get to where I am now. The breeders here were sending them overseas and wouldn't share here in the states, probably because they were afraid of competition.

Yeah I don’t get people like that it’s literally all about money

It is about money, they spent a lot of money and time creating them.

I am certainly a noob with peafowl, but would ordering fertile eggs be an option?

I ordered 5 spalding eggs off eBay and was fortunate that 4 hatched. They are all 5 months old and doing well. The eggs travelled quite a distance from Missouri to Texas. Shipped eggs are certainly a gamble even with honest sellers, but in this type of situation it may be an easier option. (I am assuming shipping eggs is legal in Europe.)
