My one and only pea - A White!

[TerriLaChicks]

If it were mine i would be able to tell by 6 months by the way it behaves with the rest of the group.

Very pretty baby, i love whites i have 7.

How do they behave differently? My two whites are in a group! What should I be looking for?
Please help -any insight would be appreciated!

I've heard the males have thicker legs, and their tails are "pointier" as they develop -- which still gives me absolutely no clues on mine either. My two are from 2 different hatches & several weeks apart in age, so one does have smaller legs - the whole bird is smaller, lol! their tails look the same to me....

Which also doesn't help you Wisher as you only have the one - so I guess DNA testing is your only option until it reaches breeding age. Since I'm keeping both of mine no matter what, I can afford to wait (impatiently, like you)!

Both sexes will fan, so that doesn't mean anything; I do know that much!

Terri, I use what is called the W.I.S.H. technique - WAITING, IMPATIENTLY, SITTING & HOPING. I WISH they are whatever sex I want them to be.

How about W.I.S.H.E.R.? Waiting Impatiently, Sitting, Hoping, Eventually Rewarded!

Train feathers show up at 2 years, but with hardly any eye feathers. 3 years old is when you can REALLY tell on those train/eye feathers. Good luck not getting attached. Keep it even if it is a girl.

Yea, I can't wait until my boys are 3 years old, so I can see their full train.

I like it! That should be the "White Peacock Owner" official motto!
