Sexing White Peafowl

[Shepicca]

Did the DNA to end the uncertainty....all 3 are females<sigh> Still no male. I guess I am hitting every fall auction and sale around!
Thanks for all your input

The center bird sure looked like a peacock, unless it is a spalding white....does it have yellow cheeks ?

I don't think so. I don't think there would be many spaldings up here. I saw the father and he just looked like a plain white peacock, the mother never came out of the shed.
I was really hoping for a male but I guess DNA doesn't lie.

Oh yes plus we are guessing from a pic also, the long leggs and tail looked longer. Now should be able to find someone who would take a hen for a peacock..........
