Hi All,

I was wondering if some of you experts could help me sex my peafowl?

These guys are 5 months now, hatched out using an incubator in May.

Edit.... I should have included that they are IB Peafowl

I can get more photos if needed :)

TIA

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.
 
Thanks guys!

Yes, they have both fanned their tails over the past few months, so still wasn't sure, but thanks for clearing it up for me.

And thank you for the lovely welcome messages too :)

We currently have 5 chickens, 3 White Campbell Ducks (2 girls, 1 boy) and 2 Peafowl.
 
Try to get clearer pictures of their backs/wings. The males will begin to show obvious barring compared to the the hens. I cannot be sure but in the bottom picture it looks like the bird on the left might be male and the one on the right female.

Thank you, I will try to get more pictures of them over the next couple of days

I’ve tried to get some pictures of their backs, I didn’t get any of the wings but will continue to try.

Both together
