New peacock Mom!! Need guidance:)

I have another question.. how can you tell the sex of babies? I heard about a blood test and would like more info if you guys have any info on that I really would like a male and female pair. I have access to more babies.

Sometimes I can tell very early, but it's hard to explain.

The dark one may be a hen and the light one a cock. Maybe...

I kept the darkest one of the 4 pea chicks that my hen hatched but now that it's 3 weeks old it looks more like the light colored ones in the pictures. It has the white spots on it's shoulders. I was hoping for a female but I guess it is what it is...

I so wish there was an easy well to tell

Unless you vigorously deworm all of your birds regularly I would keep the peas separated from chickens. Peafowl will often bully any birds smaller than them especially during the breeding season. Chickens are also germ factories for several diseases that rarely hurt them but are fatal to peafowl.

I have been told by many peafowl people that around 8 weeks you can tell the sex of an IB chick. Females will have a more sooty or smudgy pattern on their wings where the males will be more obvious and distinct in the barring on the wings.

Is the noise they make louder than a rooster crow?
