Sexing peachicks

Hi I'm looking to buy some of these peachicks any ideas on sex?

First two photos... I'm seeing a lot of heavy barring (male) in the foreground. Second photo, also looks kinda male- have to look at the feathers on the front of the neck. The males get this sort of busy, beige, vertical pattern - the female look more like crescent moons along the bottom of the feather, with just the hurl looking beige.

There's a BS in the one photo - that miiiiiight be a hen, depending on age. Hard to see, though.

Thanks for that I'm looking for young peacocks so I am very happy I really like pieds! This is a pic of the chick

Also the peachicks are 3 months old in the first two pics

Do I needed anything else in the peafowl coop? I'm getting a peacock and a peahen from the first pictures.

He said they are Indian blue crossed with a white so will they be pied?

They love nice thick perches, especially the types that are natural tree branches cut to size. Mine often turn their noses up at my snug coops and prefer these high perches in the runs.

They like lots of room to wander in their runs... I add things for enrichment, like different heights of perches, little "tree houses" on poles, etc.

I can't have my peafowl out in the night as I had 3, 2 young peacocks and 1 young peahen. The peahen is living with my hens in a coop the peacocks were outside in a big run. One night a mink came and killed the 2 peacocks. I am really devastated so I'm not taking the chance again. I will eventually have my peafowl free-range but I'll lock them in in the night
