Peachick Color Identification

[Suncatgardens]

Can anyone help me identify the color mutation of this peachick hatched June 17, 2017? I have 4 of them from different mom's, but same dad. I have a supposed true India blue male. The mom's are a mix between India blue, cameo and black shouldered, though all have the same India blue coloration. None of these babies have any green on their necks like their siblings.

Very pretty! I would ask @KsKingBee he is great at identifying colors in peas...

Your 'pure' IB cock is split Cameo and all of your Cameo chicks are hens. Your hens are not split Cameo, that is not possible. Hens can not be split to the sex-linked colors of Cameo, Peach, Purple, or Violet

Thanks so much. What is the name of the color of the chicks? Kind of new to this (5 years).

On the sixth picture I see: 3 female inda blue + ... probably one male inda blue (not very visible / dark spots on the belly) and as said KsKingBee one female Cameo!

Okay. Go

Okay. Got it and thank you. One more question: in the first picture I have a black shouldered female (right?). The second picture I thought was cameo (bottom right), but it can't be that because she is not colored anything like the cameo chicks you identified. She kind of looks like the black shouldered female, but her coloration is much more muted and tan instead of dark grey like that of the black shouldered female. Please forgive my ignorance, but she just decided to reside here this year. I have no idea about her age or lineage, let alone where she came from. Nobody has any peafowl within 20 miles that I know of.

Sorry, the pictures seem to be reversed. The one alone in the cage is the black shouldered female. The one with the flowers is the one I don't know about.

pic 5 = cameo young peahen ... 4 month
Her father is BLUE but in his genome has one gene cameo ! Cameo is a color sexe linked ( take a look there : https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ther-genetics-colors-patterns-and-more.72265/) females of those color need only ONE gene of this color to show the color !the cameo color is medium brown.

Last pic is probably a young male Blue black shoulder .... i say probably because on the pic of group, I see an adult peahen black shoulder which may not be a BLUE! ... the mother ??
