Please help with sick peacock

[Shay1Bear]

Okay I had to count back lol she's will be 4 months on the 14th give or take a couple of days. We got her on September 14th and we were guessing she was only 3 weeks old and thats what my BYC peoples thought to

because she has been sick she hasn't grown as much as her brother( Blue)

Blue is on the bottom left and hes growing fast! Hes catching up to my 6month old peas and shes just slowly growing.

I hope your head is feeling better Kathy! Also hows your pea doing????

Thanks, took some Advil and head feels better now. This is day 3 of treatment for my hen and she's not really responding, so I'm going to add Baytril.

What do you think Mindy? I blew the picture up but it the 'ticking' is not definite enough for me to say yet.

At 16 weeks we should see that much darker lacing if it were a male. At least with mine I can see it before that age. @KsKingBee How old was that Cameo BS male (Blanca/Blanco) of yours when you posted those pics that showed his back and we could tell he was a he?

Now perhaps if the health problems have really put the breaks on the growth it could also affect the feathers, in that case it's hard to say. I would have to guess female at this point though. That would also make her seem much smaller than a male of the same age, which may be why blue seems so much bigger.

See the light tan spotting effect in between the shoulders of the middle boy? That is what I was looking for in Little Eagle.

He was hatched around mid June so should be around six months now and I think we finally figured out what he was about a month ago? I know we went back and forth on him a couple of times before he became definite.

I have entered into a new realm with Purple Black Shoulder six month old chicks. A brother and sister, I think, can't wait for a nice sunny day so I can take pics of them. I might try anyway but it is not very light in the brooder coop. Daddy is sure pretty though.
