Incubating peafowl

[mbfarms]

There is a good group on FB that has been teaching me a lot.

Would you mind pming me with the name of the group?

Is anyone here good at determining sex on peas? These three hatched out this spring
The two in the front, loosing their barring pattern, hence they are Females and the one in the back with very clear barring pattern is a Male.

If you type in peafowl in facebook search you can find a few folks that write about peas , I even found one of my photos on one persons facebook and texas peafowl has an informative face book I just stumbed upon.

Thanks for taking time to reply. I'm sorry to be so clueless, but do you mean barring in the saddle feathers and/or secondary feathering? Males keep this barring and females lose it?

The barring on the peahens totally disappear ultimately and the males retain their barring all over the body ,and on wings as well but the primary wing feathers remain copper in color among India blue males.

Pretty boys

You think all boys?

Looks like all boys to me, but I am a color novice. I just looked at my 10 week old chicks and the females have no barring at all. Since your's are older, I would expect to see much less barring and neck coloration on hens.

I come here to learn and I hope with every post that I can retain some of the info but alas, I am still new to it all.

I would say two girls and a boy but lots of neck coloring on the girls.
