Those who need help in sexing peafowl

Colbolt never called when Jadea was laying fertile eggs.

All of my adults call throughout the day and night during breeding season and more so when they hear a loud noise.

Have any of you ever seen the way they fan at hawks flying overhead? They fan, but hold their tails and bodies at different angles to make themselves look too big for the hawk... hysterical!

Colbolt still didn't Jadea would lay at 7:00 to 7:30. Never heard a single peep from Colbolt from January all the way to December. Never a single peep. This year I've yet to hear a call. It is funny.

Here is a good video, it has a peafowl farm with lots of noisy peacocks in the breeding season:

Still wouldn't call. If he called it would've been when nobody was home. I would hate to be those people. I've heard the calls at zoos.

Really enlighten me on the fanning buisness and then tell me why your pretty girl is a boy again
this is patch he was fanning at 2 days old.







Theses are some of my girls and a boy

Patch is fanning at the male approaching him, while the others are fanning at the gate more specifically their own reflection most likely. The reason why I believe Thor is a male no matter how many times you guys say female, one the primary feathers, yes I know some loo female but I've watched them turn male. Proof that they are male. 1/4/14
Other thing that you guys haven't seen is the difference in SHAPE of the breast feathers between every photo of a peahen and Thor. I know that the color looks like a female but that reason is because he's turning white.
Thor



Calypso
Side by side
Even if you compare the color they are different.
Males get spur bumps before the peahen. Thor has a spur bump and Calypso doesn't.
