Genetically, that's what Peach is. If you want to laugh because I am able to understand it, how about if I laugh because you aren't?

Your not the only one that understands this stuff, We just don't like to rub it in, not meaning to make you mad but think about it.

Those pics was taken with my phone......try to get better pics.....

I do have a cameo bs silver pied hen....2 bs silver pied hens.. 1 white hen from silver pied(need to check her out better too, she has a few looking peach feather or dirt on them..)

His father was a blue silver pied split peach his mother..was a peach silver pied. He is alot lighter than any of my other peach in the past.

Wow. I have no room for name-calling.

Everyone gets to live once. Live in a way that you can be proud of how you treated others. Sheesh.

Edited to fix my furious typing.

Anyway....

You are very fortunate to have discovered what that beauty really is. He is one of a very few, and you should be proud that he's the fruit of your many labors in peafowl breeding. Now that you have sold off many of your peas, it is even more special that he's one of your few remaining.

BTW, I've already mentioned how I prefer seeing the colors on peafowl rather than all the white on Silver Pieds, but my only exception has been pictures I've seen with Cameo and Peach. There's something so soft and innocent about those shades being mixed in with the white. So I'm being truthful in saying that I find him to be beautiful.

I don't know anything about peafowl, but he is absolutely beautiful

Does the Cameo BS SP hen have one or two copies of the White-Eyed gene? If she has two copies, and you breed her to your Peach SP peacock, you should get:

25% Dark Pied White-Eyed (boys will be Cameo split to Peach, girls will be Peach)

50% Silver Pied (boys will be Cameo split to Peach, girls will be Peach)

25% White-Eyed White (boys will be Cameo split to Peach, girls will be Peach, but being White, you won't see the colors)

And they'd all be split to BS.

Something i learn this last year....I first join this forum....i did some of those hatefull post when someone had different views. Hope people can see i sure have changed those ways...

I still don't always agree......Now even though i haven't met many member in person, but so many are my dear friends......really never want to hurt their feelings.

Hard to let people know thru posting......sometime it may have came across wrong......SORRY to anyone that i may have upset.

Burt, your peach silver pied boy is a beauty!
Love his light peachy colored body with the light wings. Very unique.

We hatched one peach silver pied this year.

Pictures are crappy. Was moving the youngsters to a grow out pen and snapped a few quick photos.

Its nice you post some of this info........but you do know I in fact know all this. good info for others.

Myself i have never bred any cameo...so we will see ........BUT


When you breed two recessive color together......like bronze to purple =blue

So your telling me that Cameo is Dominant over peach

I had the idea peach was results of cameo & purple cross from time i got my first peach.........because peach chicks can out of both purple & cameo lines.

I had a peach white eye peacock(two copies ) he was alot darker peach.......this guy is a real light shade of peach, my first thought was it was the white eye gene. but that can't be.......Oh silver pied are all white eyes(two copies)

The "peach" phenomenon is a leucistic mutation.

It can occur in any species and amongst any mutation. It's a degree of albinism.
