Question for the peafowl experts

[Rm chickens]

I got some eggs that are fixing to go in the incubator that are from a Spalding peacock over a Spalding hen, Spalding pied hen and white hen. What are the possibilities of colors. Thanks

@KsKingBee or @casportpony do you know?

They will all be Spalding aka Hybrids. As for patterns, the chicks from the White hen will be split White and the ones from the Pied hen will be split Pied.

Agree with KSKingBee and you won't be able to tell which ones are split white and which ones are split pied.

Is it possible for the pied hen to produce split white chicks too?

Good call. She will pass one of her two chromosomes, the one with the white or the one with the pied.

Well I put tge 4 eggs in the incubator after shipping from Florida to Tennessee and to my surprise all 4 made it to lockdown looking good, except one had a very small air sac. Tonight 3 out of the 4 hatched, the one that didn't was the small air sac. And it didn't enternally pip. So here's the neat thing. The 3 hens that were in the pen with the Spalding peacock were a Spalding hen, a Spalding pied hen and a white hen. And the 3 chicks are all different, one is white(yellow) and one is dark with the knot on its head and the other is pied. Couldn't be happier. Be interesting to see how they turn out

Lockdown is a myth in the future i wouldn't bother with it.

Trying to verify these three peachicks colors/types. I’m pretty sure one is IB and one is BS. Guessing the back one is also IB but it seems more brown or reddish than the one in the front. The first two is about 18 days old and the back one is 10 days old. I bought these from cackle hatchery and they don’t give any details on color/type or any other information.

Here is another picture of the front two. Thanks
