I love the greens and I love any silver mutation also the Sonjas violet is very pretty

But Sonjas are expensive!

What variety is your mature male? My spalding white has already shed most of his train (he only has really short train feathers left) and the other two peacocks in the same pen as him still have all of their train feathers. Some peacocks just shed at different times.

He's IB split BS or Midnight is what the previous owner advised. He only has a few white flight feathers.

Q8 I love your birds!!! Did you raise any greens this year?

Yes, hatched many this year, will post some images soon for you.

Very pretty chicks.
I have to say for 5 weeks they look big. Mine is just 4 weeks. Maybe you have small hands..

Do you weigh them? I'd be interested to know their weight at 5 weeks for comparison to mine.

I will weigh them for you, my hand is normal size LOL

My mature male is losing his train. Is this normal for this time of year? I would have expected that to be a little later more like September for us here in central IN.

Already two males are losing most of their train, one of them didn't hatch any chick this year

The opal black shoulder chick is 294 grams(thinking its a hen), and the opal white eye chick is 356 grams.

After having the Java Green and watch him mature I like the greens! He is beautiful. He is quite different from the others!

If I remember correctly you got him as a yearling and is not an imprinted bird. Is he more 'wild' than your Blues? My Spauldings, even my lower percentage ones, seem to be more standoffish and harder to get close to.
