Peachick Gender

[nyfarmchick]

I am pretty new to peafowl. I have one adult IB peacock but I just got some new peachicks, so he can have company. I have seven all together, 3 BS and 4 IB. I have two that I am not 100% sure of their gender. What do you think? I have been reading through all the threads here and am so thankful for all the helpful information here!

Welcome to BYC, I think you *might* have a pair. #2 looks like a boy, not sure about #1

Okay. Thanks! I thought number 2 was a boy also, but the barring on the body made me think I might be wrong. Number 1 is about 10 days younger, so maybe I just have to wait a little longer to tell for sure. But my other IB that is the same age as number 1, I can easily tell is a male. Either way, I love them all! It’s just fun to try and figure out.
