Zazouse showed a lot of beautiful pictures of very young peacocks who are displaying.
What I have found so far is that if the wee ones fan all the time they are male , the females will fan at an early age but not all the time like some little males will. This does not mean if they do not fan at an early age they are females just that some wee males do fan .
I had a friend pick a peafowl egg up for me at a huge sale in Ohio (we live in Eastern Kentucky) For $10! The lady told him it was a India blue and had marked it "blue" I put it in the incubator and low and behold to my shock it actually hatched!! My favorite peafowl is hands down a pied! This is my 1st peachick/peafowl so I really don't know much about them! Any tips/information/help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Someone told me to absolutely not feed it medicated chick starter just game feed?!? I've been feeding mine medicated chick starter all week since its hatched but I just switched to half medicated chick starter and half flock raiser and I boiled and smashed up a egg for it today! Anyway I had never seen a peachick besides mine but today I decided to google some and noticed mine is half white and India blues are almost all brown and from what I can tell he looks pied to me what do u professional peafowl people think about it?? What do I got?? Any name suggestions? When can I tell the sex on it? Do u need another picture of its wings? Can u sex pied early?[/URL]
