Idk and I don't care I wants it!

Lol so jealous white peafowl are definitely on my list.

Beautiful bird! I hope you find your answer.

Thank you! I am sooooo excited. I always wanted a white one too. I just traded two of my Indian blue pea hens for this one and a pied male, yesterday.

Look mature. I would say female. This is a job for @casportpony

Welcome to BYC! If it is 2 years old or older it is a hen.

Ooh, I hope it is a girl. The woman that I traded my hen with, thought that it is a male. I watched for hours today, looking for behavior and posturing. I'm not sure if it is a sibling to the pied male that it came with, but it is definitely a lot smaller and shorter.

How old is it?

I'm not exactly sure to be honest, but she said it was young too. It's quite small compared to my 1 year olds....

If it is smaller than your yearlings it is probably also a yearling, and pretty good chance it's female if it's that much smaller.
