Purple Peachick..... Male or Female?

[reesepoultry]

Any ideas... this one has me stumped. I thought male..... but still no green in the neck. I believe it is at least 6 weeks or older.

male

Ok, I thought that but, wasn't sure. Is it because of all the barring on the wings.

 

[deerman]

All the barring on the shoulder feathers base of wing. Remember even the young female peachicks have the barring, but lose them starting around about 7 week when new feathers start coming in.

Oh, so it could still be a female..... Or it is definately a male..... So I got confused.

Male because i still see barring on the new feathers coming in at the shoulders.
