I am a new poster and peafowl raiser but I have read alot of the posts and read one recently that said a purple hen would show blue or purple on the neck while a cameo would not. Does this hold true with the males also? The reason I ask is I bought some eggs on ebay this past summer(2010) and hatched one that I believed was a cameo white eye. The only other possibility would be a purple pied white eye. The reason for this difference may be because the ebay seller marked his cameo white eye with a 9 and his purple pied white eye with a 6 so I may have read it wrong. I also looked at some pics at coxfowlfarm and my male looks pretty much like a purple pied white eye on this site. What does anyone think and is the second picture I have a purple hen? You don't see much color on the neck but there is some blue there. Thank you much.
