Posters sized of this .... is it possible ???

You would need to enlarge it and refine it so it can be read. Maybe add more details.

I finally finished part 1 of the varieties chart. I just couldn't go to bed without finishing it! It is pretty late...

Anyways, if I made any mistakes with a variety color let me know. I had lots of issues making the file smaller while still retaining detail, so I really hope that you can see the birds and their detail and color can be made out.


Edit: Yeahh the quality isn't looking so good...I will be working on figuring out that...If anyone has any recommendations let me know. I was freezing photoshop earlier with this huge file and it got better once I sized it down.

I love this! Fantastic work. I have to say, the wild type, charcoal, and violete appeal them most to me.

That chart looks amazing!! Good job!!!

Good morning -
I'm quite late to this party, but I really hope some of you are still here & will find my post/question.
We are experienced chook & turkey keepers, but fresh to peafowl; we acquired our pair, the Ricardos (Ricky & Lucy) as coming 2-year-olds. This year they are 5.
Last spring Lucy successfully brooded her first clutch of eggs. How surprised we were when a couple of those "chick-peas" (our pet name for peachicks) were creamy white instead of traditionally feathered for India Blue.
Even more intriguing, I don't see any variation or mutation that looks anything like our oddball "chick-peas!"
I don't know anything about the ancestry of our Ricardos, sadly, so I'm sure 'anything might have happened.' At this point, I'd simply like to be able to put a name to whatever variety or mutation we've got going on.
I am attaching photos of Ricky & Lucy, the parents; shots of the chick-peas as tiny chick-peas; & current shots of them (they're coming on 1 year-old).

Thanks so very much for ANY & ALL help,
Carlene

Male yearling w/ sire:

Well, darn - I can only upload this single shot for now. Hopefully it is helpful.

Better shots of the male yearling:

Okay! Here are shots of Mama Lucy & the pair of creamy "chick-peas":

Here's a shot of the 3 "normal" chick-peas from the clutch (there's a chicken chicken in the background):

And here are shots of Ricky & Lucy (parents):

The "creamy" peachick are Blue Black shoulder peachicks ! So the color is BLUE and the pattern is Black shoulder.
It seens that the parents of those peachicks are IB blue split Black shoulder . Both of the parents bring gene of Black shoulder. One bird need 2 gene to show the pattern.

They always look a little ragged the first year. Wait until you see them next year and the year after, I think you will be very happy with them.

Strange. They don't look blue! They look off-white to me. What a pretty clutch of birds though! Beautiful! Good Job mama Lucy!

@CochinCuddlr ,
Great pictures of Ricky and Lucy and their babies!
If you browse here on the BYC Peachick Chart, you'll see that your "oddball" peachicks are actually very normal Indian Blue Black Shoulder peababies!

Looks like Ricky and Lucy have some hidden Black Shoulder genes...
