Hello I hatched six peacock eggs about 7 weeks ago.
I bought them at a local auction labeled fresh fertile peacock eggs. That’s all I know about them.
All 6 hatched and these are the six Peachicks.
Can you help identify them for me the breed and male or female please.
Thank you very much I appreciate it.

From the top they look like my India blues that are the same age. They can not be sexed at seven weeks. Below is a picture of mine for comparison. The pictures are a week or two old.

I'm new to peafowl. Please explain how you've determined the sex.
From the pictures they posted I look at the barring, if the barring is going away/becoming bigger bands then female if the barring is staying and fine lines then male.
there are other things to lookat that help, like the chest, flight feathers and how dark/ light they are

this is for just IB, if you throw in green or have a BS then it is a little different and trickier
And if it is a white then wait till it has a train, lay egg or DNA test
