ok this is scotch .
he and his hatch mates hatched Monday .
he looked like a white chick at first.
but his wing feathers are cream/ brownish.
parents are a purple hen, blue hen, and a blue male. so a light chick was a surprise to begin with. (granted they could be split to anything.)
the other 2 eggs from the trio are both blue chicks.

That is a black shouldered chick. You must have at least 2 birds that are split to black shouldered. I don't know what color bs (blue or purple), but definately a bs.

If it is an India blue black shoulder it will get black speckles, if it is a purple bs (your male would have to be split purple as well as split bs, to throw a purple chick) I am not sure if it will get the black speckles, they may be more of a brown speckle.

These are IBBS chicks at about 5 or 6 months old

the girls stay mostly white, like the pict shown above - girls on outside, they'll stay that way. the boys will get blacker and blacker with green/blue shimmer. if its a girl pbs she'll be more cream and brown instead of black specks, and get blue/purple on the back of the neck.
your chick is beautiful and looks very healthy
I couldn't tell till 4-5 months if mine was a girl or boy.


this is rose, pbs. two years now.



this is her as a young chick, maybe 3-4 months, we were still debating boy or girl, but we didn't know she was purple till the blue/purple feathers showed up later. I was new to peafowl then and had no idea what we had
