sexing peachicks

[NateinFL]

Autumnfisher,,the myth about all blue or all black feahers coming in on black shouldered peachicks must be a regional anomally only occuring in some areas of the USA. And as a matter of fact,I have spoken to the so called "experts" that hatches hundreds of peachicks each year,,and when asked to read this area of the forum referring to b/s chicks growing in solid blue,or solid black feathers has given all of them a great laugh.

That is the point I was trying to make. I'm so glad the experts are in agreement with me over this.


Your words exactly.

Hey country_girl,
How about Wyandotte? This seems to be one of the Native American tribes that have lived in Ohio (I think they are part of the Iroquois nation).

lol thats kind of a mouthful.
its cute but alot to say.
so far nuthin seems to stick. like piper and poppy kinda just seemed to stick. (thought about doing all P names. but decided against that)

It seems that one of the other tribes was Kickapoo but I figured that you'd turn that down..
Let us know what you decide!

Quote from Post #83 here"You can't tell the sex of the baby by the coloring of your bs at that age on post 64. But, within a few weeks you should see darker feathers coming in at the bottom neck area if it's a male. From that pic, you have a 50/50 chance of it being a male"
Under the picture of the Midnight B/S chick in Post #64,it states the chick was 5 weeks old,,yet the above quote says it cannot yet be sexed,,I replied to post #64 that it will be a male,,and Ive also stated I can sex B/S chicks sooner than the one posted in #64,,like at 3-4 weeks of age,,,please keep track of this Midnight chick as we watch it grow into a peacock,,which was sucessfully determined at 5 wks of age.(I'm tying to forget the age should have been much,much older to make this assumption tho,as evidenced in post #83)
Kedreeva,your post #119 about the feathers coming in all one color,,the pic of the Opal B/S male clearly shows 2-3 feathers on his neck with some black,and some tan color in the same feather,,in your writing this feather should be all 1 color,,since it does not change? I have yet to locate a single feather on even birds being over a year old that are completely black,or blue.Yet so many has several colors from tan-rust-brown-and black all on the same feather.

Here we go again! PLEASE give it a rest. We both have the same interests...you are doing it for monetary reasons and I am doing it for "pet" reasons. Everyone is an expert here...let's put our differences aside. We don't have to be friends (I have enough thank you) but stop with the arguing over the petty stuff. I wish you the best of luck...

Aww how cute, my peas will not eat peas but they love to eat the blossoms off of them, they just love flowers but i don't mind there is plenty to go around.

great picture!.
i need to start using my camera instead of my phone.
it would capture the slight green coming in soo much better. and maybe piper would stay out of my face a little. she loves my phone.
