Peafowl... Male or Female?!?!

[casportpony]

She's very pretty! So is mine male or female?

I gotta know, lol.

Judging by the dark legs on your hen she has spaulding blood in her and probably why she has so much color on her neck. The lacing on the neck and the dark wide pars on her back indicate hen. In another month you will not see much baring at all. Or he will loose the lacing on the neck, grow lots of baring on his back and be a beautiful cock. You do live in California you know...

So could be either?

Oh, and I forgot to ask. It's easy to tell if they're male or not by watching to see if they spread out their tail. Have you seen them spread out their tail any at all? If their male, their a peacock and will do that.

Can u plzz help me guess its gender. Its one piece I have and one year old

Indian blue peachicks are not difficult to be sexed!

... but peachicks of Lilmadhoward are a little bit spalding !
But the principle is the same!
Male: the front neck and back neck are the same color.
Female: the front neck and back neck are NOT the same color.Feathers are lined with gray.
Here a neck of a young female highest percentage spalding ...front neck brown lined and the back neck green !
