I find a picture on the net .... very rare new color : .... totally white with some blue spots.Shame there is only one picture. probably his brother .... eyes and saddle colorful ... What are the genes that could produce it ?
Granted, when I brought these peas home there was a BS in the quad but the man could not remember who came from what or if that BS hen was hatched from the trio or what. I moved the trio pictured above into one pen and put the BS hen in with my otehr BS hens and Purple peacock.
I mean, I know it can happen but I was rather surprised. This is the first chick from this breeding pen since I have owned these birds. I just brought them home a few months ago but have owned them for 3 years. I was never able to get the eggs before now when they were fresh enough to hatch.
Yes, that makes me very excited as I love the BS more than the original barred wing type. Though I am not keeping this little tyke, I will watch for more of them in the future to hatch and not be in a hurry to sell everything. The peacock pictured above is very skittish and I would like to raise a more tame one to keep.
... We see only what we know! Nepalese proverb ....!
In this photo, I see a blue peacock pavo cristatus ....!
white face, normal head feathers, blue neck (we do not distinguish every feather) and barred wings .... a pure Cristatus ...!
The medals were found in quantity by the muticus and NOTHING at Cristatus!
The medals are beginning to appear in Spaldings 50% and are more and more visible as the percentage of green blood increases ... it's logical!
This peacock is not a Spalding!
No yellow face, no crest facing forward, no ocellated feathers in the neck and no green patchs on the wings!
I don't know where this photo was taken .... it's possible that this is a wild peacock! ... But then, it's a revolution! ... The investigation continues!
I had always imagined the possibility by selection to pick up the medals from muticus through the Spaldings to create a Cristatus with medals!
I had my doubts because erase green mottling on the wings which automatically appears in Spaldings, it's practically impossible!
I know nothing of Spaldings. I wish I could help. I used to get deep into genetics when I bred mammals but feathered genetics has not given me the inspiration to dig deeper. "What is, is" Though I do have some simple goals in my breeding program. I just have too many projects and goals going on and the peafowl are just an interesting hobby for me and Spaldings are definitely not an interest so I have never touched on their genetics at all. I leave that to you all that are far smarter about it all!
