I just started peafowl this year and I didn't know there were so many different types of peafowl! Wow, there are sone really gorgeous birds! I only have three baby india blue males (or at least I think they are all males)
One doesnt quite look like the other two though...

This one is my oldest one, Rex. He is about 17 weeks old. (He's had gotten rained on a bit here.)

Here's all three of them. Rex is on the left side of the branch, Lynus is next to him, this is the one that looks a bit different than the other two and Lancelot is on the log on the ground.

Lynus decided to join him.

And here's a picture of just Lynus, the one that looks different than the other two. Is he or the other two a certain type of IB or do their marking just vary?

Last bird is a girl.

I'm still not sure, is my Muppet Bronze? She has dark emerald iridescence just at the top of her neck and at the top of her head. If she were IB she would have lighter green, right? And more of it? I don't have any regular IB hens to compare to, so I'm stuck with pictures.

Does not look bronze there. Let's see one with feathers Down.

That's the only recent picture I have, and this one, but that doesn't give you much.

Last bird is a girl.

Oh, really? I had hoped for at least one girl but I was told earlier when he/she was around ten weeks old that he/she was male but I never really was 100% sure. That picture was kind of a bad one too though... I'll try and get a better picture thats not zoomed in so much tomorrow Because Lynas does have more barrings than what were shown in that picture though (s) he doesn't have as many as my other two.

Roseheart, also, at least one of your boys has white flight feathers...

 

[Roseheart16]

Oh, hmm, what does that mean?

 

[Msbear]

I think that means he is split to white meaning, if you bred him to a white or pied bird, you could get some white and pied

 

[Roseheart16]

Oh, thanks! I'll have to look around for a white or pied peahen, i absolutely love what I've seen of pied peafowl!! The lady we got them from did have a few whites roaming around.

Here's more pictures of that last one, it does look like today he/she is losing some barrings. Also, I think (s) he's fourteen-fifteen weeks, same age as the one next to it in this picture.

There are all three in this picture, Lynas, is on the left while my oldest one is on the far right.

Here's just a few of just him/her (lynas)

Alone, Lynas does seem to look like a male to me but I'm unsure once (s) he is next to my other two. Anyone know if Lynas is a boy or girl? I would have gotten better pictures but (s) he's kinda camera shy and likes to stand somewhat still right until I take the picture so most of them come out blurry.
