Those who need help in sexing peafowl

I haven't taken a photo of Thor and Calypso in a long time. I'm going to get a photo tomorrow.

The only thing I know about Spalding peafowl is they have green peafowl blood in them their crest is bunched together really tight and some times have a yellow lorus and some have speckled breasts but Calypso has only the speckled breast her crest feathers try to spread apart but they are bent down to her head. When she was really young it was a fan shape but now it's bent over not sure why.

I have spaldings here not all of them have upright crest also baby crest change

Are these feathers from your babys or adults?

Those are from the back of the necks of my peas the same age as Thor.

I can see that the tips of the feathers are longer on males and split apart instead of all bunched up like the hen. Thank you. Is that the only difference other than color?

I'm no expert, I just plucked them and took pictures. Both are from birds the same age as Thor and were plucked about a month ago.

109 Pages and Thora is still a Thor. Bandwidth eater deluxe for sure.

I wonder if everyone is just getting their chain jerked on ?

That crossed my mind at first, but I think he really does believe Thor is male.
