KATHY!! SERIOUSLY !!??????????

Do you mean to tell me that I have been fooling myself ALL OF THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

I wanted a white peacock so bad, I played tricks in my head and I had myself thinking it was a male. OMG !!!!!

WHY DIDN"T SOMEONE ON BYC TELL ME BETTER!!!!!!!!

Ya'll know I have issues. !!!!!!!!!

I will take a pic today and post for you to see. I'm not doubting you, it's the voices in my head telling me to do it.

And HIS OR HER has a birthday is Thursday. HE/SHE will be 1 year old.

Haha well if the white will be 1 soon I would think if it were a male you would definitely be seeing some spur bumps by now so can you get a photo of those legs? When I was given 3 white peachicks I wanted one to be a white peacock so badly and would watch them and for a long time I thought I had two peacocks and a peahen but when they got older it got very obvious that one was bigger, had a longer tail, and had spurs. It does look too small to be a peacock, but whites do get very confusing...

Post a picture of *her*  tail.  Seriously, though, I'm too much of a novice to say for sure, so hopefully the more experienced will comment.

At 1 year old, how long would the tail if it were a male? The tail is really not long and it kinda does look like a hen.

My Wylie is the tallest of all of my birds, even the 6 year old, Owen. He's got longer feathers where his train will be in a couple years, and he certainly acts very "boy-ish," so I'm sticking with boy for him. I do love that little butthead.

Here's a throwback, his baby picture, just for fun..

Kuntrygirl, what does your gut tell you?

My gut? Well...... huh.......well.......... my gut is saying that I have been deceiving myself for almost a year and I have been having denial issues and I need some pea help because I wanted a white peacock and I have been dressing this little "girl" up in baseball caps, sneakers and jerseys and telling everyone that it's a HE !!!!!!! And in actuality, I should have been dressing HER up in pretty, pink frilly dresses, with lace socks and pink patin leather shoes and a cute pink Easter hat.

WHY ME !!!!!!!!!!!!! My child will need psychological help because I have been treating it like a male. WE NEED THERAPY !!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I just went and looked at my June 2012 peas and the boy is huge and also has pretty big-ish spurs. Green-P is smaller and she has itty bitty spurs. I also looked at their tails and tried to picture them as all white and I think I'd be able to tell the difference. On the boy, the top layer of feathers are shaped differently and are as long as the bottom ones, but Green's top layer are much shorter than the ones on the bottom. Sorry, wish I could explain it better.
