Please Help! Is my peachick a male or female??

[Morri]

Thanks thats really helpfull!! When they are about 3 months old I could post some more pics or E-mail some to you so i can get some expert advise seeing I can only guess, we were hoping it was a male

but it doesnt really matter seeing its only a pet addition to the hobby farm!

Im just excited I have finally got one

lol

Thanks for all you posts

I contacted the breeder of the chicken and it ended up being an old english game!

Good job peachick!! Thanks all!

I just hope it doesnt end up a roo!!

Here are a pair of India blues.
Male on left (note barring as per what Deerman said), female on right. 3rd bird is also a female.

Very interesting...I bred cockatiels way back when and the females always had barring on the undersides of the tailfeathers. Its opposite in peacocks, I'll have to remember that, thanks.

Yes I bred cockatiel also, were the young cockatiels all start out looking like females and males lose the barring, Peafowl are opposite females lose the barring.

Now this is not so with the greens, harder to sex the greens.....
