Makes or female guesses???

[Bad Wolf]

Does anyone have any idea if these 2 cameos are male or female? The bigger one is about 1-2weeks older than the smaller brown one.

How do you know that the Black Shoulder is Cameo?

Here is a Cameo BS yearling cock.
That is a Cameo Pied hen in front of him.

I guess I don't know. I'm very new to raising peacocks. I have read all the genetics pages and the way all the colors work and I'm so confused! When I first bought the 2 peachicks, the feed store told me they were both cameo. I think several people here have told me that the black shoulder is not necessarily a cameo but what else would it be? Your birds are beautiful! I also have a IB peacock that I was told is 1yr old. Do you agree??[QUOTE="KsKingBee, post: 15748557, member: 0"]How do you know that the Black Shoulder is Cameo?

The white looking one could be a regular Indian Blue Black Shoulder. The Cameo I can't see if there is barring or not.

I think its india blue black shoulder chick, the cameo chick looks hen.

There is light barring on the cameo. I hope the cameo is a female!

How about a close up of the side?
