Need help sexing these three chicks

[Birdrain92]

thanks for the picts I have a three year old purple bs hen I raised from a chick but I never had a bs male from a chick for comparison. three years into this and sometimes I feel like I still don't know a thing she didn't show up. but she called yesterday later. so far nothing today. it erks me. these are living creatures.

I'm still trying to figure out how to sex Black Shoulder chicks younger than a month. IBs you can get an idea when they are very young but you know for sure when they are around 3 weeks but Black Shoulders I've yet to figure out a way to find a difference before one month. At least she called you, the three people I get never call and I wait a couple days and if they don't give me a call then I don't hold onto the peachick for them. It shouldn't be the seller's job to call the person trying to buy peafowl to ask if they will still make it or if they can't that's the buyers job in my opinion. I can't reserve a peachick for a long time when I have potential buyers since it costs more money the longer I have them.

You have more patients than me with buyers. I wait only a couple days from the pick up date and if I don't get a call they are no longer reserved. In my opinion it's the buyer's job to call me to let me know they need to work out on another day. It costs me more money the longer I have the chicks so I can't reserve them for a month or longer if I get another person wanting to buy peachicks.

That's how I feel too. She just seemed so interested, came to see them and all... well talked to her today, family emergency and she says she'll be here tomorrow by 8 am. I've never had anyone not show up before.

anyways, I'm gonna post picts tomorrow after catching them again. the difference is so obvious now. If id waited a week I would have been able to tell I think. he's def got black and she's def grey now

ok, last picts of these chicks i'll ever have. They seemed so sad to leave





I hope this lady takes good care of them. She has chickens and I warned her about black head. I worry when people don't do they're research before taking them home...
I already miss having them running around outside. Got one more running around tho

It's always sad to see your own chicks go. I don't like having people that never researched peafowl want peafowl and then when I educate them they change their minds.

that would suck. I can't see getting any animal without thoroughly researching it first to make sure it'd have a good home here. you don't get animals just because you want them. you have to give them a good home. it looks like you give all your birds a great home. I love the picts of you holding them for show. they're so calm with you. that shows you spend a lot of time with them and caring for them

It takes some a while but I've been able to set a personal record of getting one of my peafowl tame within couple weeks but it helps when it was a chick I hatched out. It is working with them a lot to get them tame but then you take it easy. Short sessions just enough to keep them tame. I'm hoping to do a video of taming my adult peafowl since they are not tame. I've also set a personal record for age of the peafowl and it is a year old peafowl is the oldest peafowl I've gotten tame with one month.

I had a parent at the fair want peachicks and then I gave a little education on them and they changed their minds. If they don't want the birds after I give them a bit of education on peafowl they won't get them only those that have proven to me they've done research or ask me questions. Not only few questions but not a lot either.
