I got some decent pictures of my 6 week old chicks a couple days ago and finally found time to post. I'm still very novice with the peas so I'm hoping you guys have at least some educated guesses for me. It has been raining for weeks on end here so I won't guarantee they are the cleanest chick pictures but I hope not too bad. I've almost forgotten what clean birds, horses, shoes, and kitchen floors look like. Lol
Patch
I know "he" is a black shoulder. "He" is hopefully purple but I am clueless as to how early or even how you can tell. Patch was the first to hatch and the clown/show off of the bunch that is how I came up with "he". And, are those primary coverts white as in split pied or is that part of the black shoulder patern? I believe mom is BS SP split purple. Dad is purple BS.
The rest of my chicks came from @Kedreeva
Flair
I'm still just as clueless about this one as the day "she" hatched. Ked posted "her" on Peafowl 201: Further Genetics- Colors, Patterns, and More
and I believe it was decided "she" is cameo. I am totally fascinated with this one and "she" wishes I wasn't. This is by far the most timid and smartest one. I did notice a couple dark feathers starting in on the back of it's neck if that helps.
Sabino
IB dark pied male?
Chrome
IB pied male?
Ghost
IB silver pied maybe female? Not even sure on the IB part. This one is at least as outgoing as Patch but not as tame.
