Please help! Peafowl Gender/Sex ID

[flipflap]

Hi All,
Two days a go I bought three semi-wild 9mo old peafowls, India Blue I believe. The seller told me they were two females and one male, I am thinking they are three males... See attached photos. The seller will exchange or sell me more to make a desired combination. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Pretty sure they are all boys too. India Blue hens have dark grey wings without barring and some green on the back of their neck, no blue at all on them.

My understanding is that three boys and no girls is not a great idea. What is a good gender ratio for happy birds?

I'm not sure but some others i tagged know the answer to that. Are you wanting them for breeding? 3 males would probably get along if you have no females for them to fight over.

Breeding sounds like fun, but not for money. I just want them to be happy.

Maybe having males and females from the same litter is a bad idea for breeding... Maybe three boys is ok if they don't fight too much?

Girls always cause trouble with boys, they won't fight unless there is a hen involved.

After some thought, three males from the same litter is fine. I wouldn't want them inbreeding, if I want to breed someday I can get a female from a different source. Thank you all!
