Peachicks-color?

[lorad]

These are two peachicks my hens hatched for me (5/20/10)- I bought the eggs on ebay and they were hens choice- options for parentage are: balck shoulder, cameo white eyed pied, purple black shoulder, midnight black shoulder, silver, or jade. Both chicks are brown with orangish tan wing feathers, and one has a few white feathers in its wings. I'm thinking black shoulders- can you tell any of the other colors before adult plumage? Probably too soon to sex also?

I'm happy to have live chicks instead of unhatched eggs no matter what color! I traded a few chickens for some yearling IB hens yesterday, so now I'm the proud owner of 4 peafowl... Hopefully one of the chicks will be male... Also have 3 viable eggs under Sweetie-my best broody Phoenix hen. Thanks for the info
