Show off your Peas!

[QueenMisha]

Hey there everyone! So good news - I've found the male I need! He's a beautiful high percentage Emerald Spalding two year old. He's not pied but honestly he's so pretty I can't be bothered to care. He'll be getting shipped in this week hopefully!

And I finally got pictures of my other peas. Turns out they were I bit younger then I thought; I have a terrible grasp on time so that's no surprising. The big one is about 5 months and the littlier ones are closer to 4. I've read what I can regarding sexing but I'm still not really sure; can anybody help me sex them? These are my three pieds (I'm probably going to get the 4th young pea, the white, DNA sexed).

All look like hens to me. Here's a picture of my pair of whites. Not sure how old they have to be to use the one sexing method I know for white peafowl. If the tail coverts are wispy like the one on the right it's a male. If it stays solid like the one on the left it's a hen.

Male is on the right and the hen is on the left.

Hens, males should have some fringe starting to grow on the outer tail feathers at that age, especially true in young green roosters great example pics of the whites above and very pretty birds by the way. Hope this helps.

So that's two votes for hens! Wow, that means that unless the other white one is a cock I have all peahens! Besides those three I have only the momma hen, a DNA sexed white female, and the other unknown white. I'll go check on that last one and see if it's growing any fringey feathers and get some pics of it too. Thanks everybody!
