Purple Peafowl

[Birdrain92]

I was curious on information on Purple peafowl and what they look like exactly. There's not a lot that I've found out about them as well as appearance. The only thing I know is they are one of the four sex link colors. I'm thinking about getting some next spring if I can find them of course. First though I need to know more than just they are one of the four sex link colors. Also I would like to know a little bit on their genetics. Those that have purple peafowl please post pics and share some knowledge on them please.

Ooh that is a good comparison! I think your purple male is split to black shoulder.

Yeah he seems to, these are screen shots from a short video.

What does a purple hen look like? I can barely see the train on the purple male do you have a full body shot?

new 2, can you put one or more of those comparison photos from Q8 into the database? That is such a great explanation of the difference between the two... though a mention/explanation of the shoulder would be advisable, maybe

@Garden Peas - good idea, but we would have to get the permission of @q8peafowl .
I know that some of the wonderful birds he posts pictures of belong to one of his friends.

What do you think, @q8peafowl ?

I posted my little family of Purple BS just last week in its own thread but here are a couple of pics of them.
