Sexy white peafowl

[micayc]

Anyone have any suggestions on where to get my whites sexed? I purchased 210-month-olds, and would like to know what they are. They are beautiful either way, just want to know.
Do you have to draw blood for can use a feather? I really hope I have one of each.

You can't tell a 17.5 year olds sex?

There is a place but I can't remember but someone will be along shortly to tell you. I think it costs about $20.

I bought two white chicks (same age) late last summer and they are starting to show characteristics where I am pretty sure one is a peacock and the other a peahen. One is longer legged, has spur bumps and is starting to get a lot more of the fringy looking feathers so I am thinking peacock. #2 is smaller, no spur bumps and no fringy feathers so I hope peahen.

Here I thought it was 210 month olds as in 210 chicks that are a month old

If you compare, the males have legs that are a bit longer, and I believe I heard that the spur bump on males is a bigger diameter. Maybe that could at least give you a guess?

Yeah, I kind of read it like that too, and I was thinking with 19 birds outside, 84 in the incubators and at least 10 coming in the mail
that perhaps we wasn't as addicted as I was starting to worry I was.

If they are 10 months old you should be able to tell if you want to spend the money to get them DNA this is who I use.
