Sexing my Peafowl!

[KsKingBee]

Alright, I'll probably try and get a DNA test for my white then, I really can't tell and I would like to get a female peachick if he's a male or the other way around.
I'll try and get a better neck pic, see if anything is visible.

Do you have a side view of the White handy?

I don't know if this is what you wanted for my BS neck view, but I noticed some iridescence on the black spots when I was looking for it.
(I don't have a side view handy, but I'll go get one)
I also noticed that when I came back with the BS (after taking the pictures) my white's neck was puffed up.

I am going to say hen, the feathers do not have the tan points that normally indicate cock. Some hens, especially Spaulding hens, can be very dark.

Hope these are ok, couldn't exactly get a super good side view.

Those are perfect, let us know when the DNA comes back. Both of your girls are pretty.

The White is way too early to tell, I DNA every White we produce at a few weeks so I know what I can sell earlier. The BS I am prone to say hen but I am not 100% on that. Unfortunately, the area that would show more is just behind the neck where it meets the saddle.

IQ DNA Gender testing is in, The BS is a Peacock and the W is a Peahen!

Yep guesses are about 50% correct.
