Little Yellow is an India Blue BS, and as you can see, she has bronze colored crown feathers (and some green ones too).

That is the color of mine!

But it is not a bronze peafowl in the barred wing pattern.  Where did you get that from?

ot them when they were 2 days old from Murray McMurray Hatchery.

Quote: Hatcheries are not the number one recommended place to get peafowl. I personally would not since you pay so much more for a company that is reselling some birds. I do not think that they are not bronze.

Why are my IBs so much darker than the other ones if they are all IBs

And why do they have different colored crest if they are all the same age August 12

Not sure what you are asking here?
Can you clarify? Which "other ones"?

Your girl certainly looks like an India Blue Blackshoulder.

Top two peahens are the blackshoulder pattern. Their color is probably india blue.
Second picture. One the left is a hen that is in the India Blue color, pied pattern (IB Pied), middle is a peacock in BS pattern, IB color, so if from the hatchery as hens then they are all IB BS. Then the hen on the right is india blue in color, and barred wing/wild type pattern.
