Those who need help in sexing peafowl

[mandyok]

Thank you! I went right out and sure enough much taller than any female. Sure happy about that I was really wanting a white male.

I wasn't saying I think Thor is a male, I still think it is a Thora, but I was just saying that a few of the neck feathers do look different, and it doesn't look like it is the lighting making the feathers look that way. I just wanted to say that at least Birdrain was right that a few neck feathers are blue, but I know that doesn't make it a male.

I just thought it was interesting...

Come on, you know why those feathers are like that.

Tell us why. Just a part of his total denial.

Can I ask why are you stuck on the neck of the birds? The neck has nothing to do with being male or female. You have a barred wing pattern of peafowl where the males have bars on the wings and females are a solid brown. Now they have been telling the sex of barred wing birds for centuries, but then you come along and for some unknown reason come here and tell everyone that they are wrong and you are right cause of the green on the neck? The males necks are more colorful then the hens, hens have green on the neck and males are greenish blue to a blue blue, so again why are you stuck on the necks? The two birds in the last 2 pictures are hens and so is the bird on theleft of the first picture. I do not understand what your problem is when everyone tells you what sex they are. Walk up to the bird and pull out a couple feathers and send them in with $20 and they will DNA sex the bird for you. here's the link: http://zoogendna.com/

No thanks necessary! With that scream & charge, I was pretty sure he was a he. Be careful about wanting a white male, I was saying the same thing about 6 years ago, and I now find myself with 8 white males, Yikes, but that is a long story for another day!

So jealous! 8 whites.

Having only 3 white hens right now, I'd be happy to share some white males!

Oh ok thanks. Now I am wondering about my white. He does have longer tail feathers then my females but he/now maybe she has spurs and does strut and try to breed the females. He shakes his tail feathers and then runs at them screaming. Is this a male for sure if he does that. By the way I named him second because he is second in command so I guess the name could work for male or female

Can you post photos of your pretties?

This male is 6 months old see how big his spurs are already.
