Is this a chicken?!

Lol but seriously, somebody please voice an opinion on if we have a male or female here. Picking up another today and desperately want to verify if this is a male. Thanks so much!

OMG, I just saw the title, lol. Chicken it is not, it's a peafowl. As for sex, I'm gonna say male, but it looks like it might be spalding, not blue, so someone like @KsKingBee would be the best person to confirm sex and color.

Thank you for responding! Pardon my Monday morning humor I'll get better as the week wears on!

I like your sense of humor! Are the belly feathers really that brown? I just looked at mine that are the same age and they are white.

Looks like a rare crested green jungle fowl - chicken for sure.
