Welcome to BYC! It looks you may a male and two females. I don't own any peafowl, however there is a large wild population nearby. How old are they? I don't know much about peafowl, but with some birds male and female have the same plumage until after a couple of moults. It could be that if there's no male, a female may try to take charge, it happens with chickens and ducks.

Not an expert by any means but they all look like hens... thats great news! the boys are cheaper and easier to buy alone than hens are

So is a yearling peacock more like this, with more color? (He/she) was born last may-ish

Got a line on some peafowl for sale and need to know which gender to get.
