Spalding peacocks pictures!

[Peafowlssssssss]

I have someone who want to get some spalding chicks from me and he wants to see how they will look like when they grow up, and since my chicks came from a spalding bronze father and a spalding hen, i can't show him how they will really look like when they get older. If anyone could post some pictures for spalding peacocks with 50% or 75% or lower percentage green blood and its okay with you to show him the pictures i will be glad for your help. Thanks

My only spalding male is the high percentage one, but I think my hen is lower percentage.
Otherwise maybe this will help: http://leggspeafowl.com/photo/spalding.htm

I know your birds are from Rocking BAB so maybe some photos from them would be good too?

Yes they are

, Do you think this peacock is 75% spalding or more?

 

[MinxFox]

I would say so. He does seem very high % to me. They were definitely very tall too. A lot of spaldings don't seem to have the height of green peafowl, but these did.

Isn't an Emerald peafowl a basically a Spalding but with more green blood than blue? Wouldn't it be like breeding a green to a blue, then taking that Spalding and breeding it to a green and then would it be an Emerald? Because I look at images of them and most of the photos look like green peafowl. Also here is Thora Spalding Split to White.

He's the friendliest peacock I know and have.

The term 'emerald' refers to a spalding that has 75%+ green blood from any muticus subspecies.
Note: The term 'emerald' is no longer used by the UPA, as it was basically being mis-used by sellers. Sellers were using the term 'emerald' to refer to birds with a large portion of green displayed in their phenotype, but by genotype the birds were less than 75% green blooded. Beware when purchasing from sellers using the term 'emerald' without stating the blood percentage, as some may be truthful and some may not. As well, you cannot always blame the seller, as they may simply be misinformed as opposed to maliciously deceptive.
