Peachick colors

[jillmost80]

Send me photos of your Indian blue peachicks around 4-5 months. I bought some and now think they are pied! But maybe I am wrong.

Here are some of @Mmmaddie13's

Hiccup is India Blue Pied on the left. He's about 10wks old in this photo and his pretty blue feathers are coming in.


But yes, look at new 2 pfowl's attached link to learn more about the genetics part of it. Also to learn more about all of the different colors/patterns there are.

Lots of pictures @new 2 pfowl's site too:

Here are the two showing the blue neck feathers ... Side back view of course ...

Yes. Also I see barring on the shoulder which is another way to tell.

My Indian Blue peachick at 10 weeks old. This is a male. Another indicator of male is color coming in on top of the head unless it's a Spalding.

Do you have photos of them now? I have two suppose to be full Indian blue peachicks around 4 months. I am fairly sure I have one male one female. But I am wondering if they are pied! My adult Indian blue has no white except his eye strip and his pants. Did your babies turn out full Indian blue since mine look very similar to this one you posted here.

The peafowl pictured above are not pied. Does that help? Can you post some pictures of yours?

Here is a couple of pics of them. I am thinking there is a lot of white on them. And comparing to my older Indian blue he was not nearly as white. Mind you I got him a few months after this age. But I am also taking in consideration they are about 6 months now. They listen quite well and are sweet I prefer not to stress them too much and pick them up. My older boy will allow me to do anything to him and will sit on my lap. I am just unsure if they are pied. Don’t get me wrong pied is beautiful in its own way I am not interested in having pied I wanted full Indian blue and just worried they are not.

I see no sign of either of these carrying any white genes.

Thank you. I mean I am not a 100%. I got my original guy when he was older so I don’t remember him having any white on him. When I look up it doesn’t give me a lot on line to see or make reference.

side note 2 months after this post. I for sure have a male and female. I am still not sure if they are 100% full blue. I feel like they still have too much white on them but again I guess only time will tell.

Look closely at the "white" you are seeing. It isn't white. White is sparkling pure white. you are seeing the light, light gray of normal peafowl.

Compare with your goose.

This is mine I thought she was 4 months old but now I'm doubtful. Your birds are gorgeous
