None and neither did Colbolt til he got the train he has now. Are you saying they will have the green run down their back just as that Spalding. Or are you saying barring run down the back. I know they will get the green feather like this when they are old enough.

I am saying that those feathers in the picture came from one of my less than a year old male india blues. They will start with just barred feathers in brown, and then they will grow in the barred feathers that have the green gold stripes and then when they hit maturity they will have all green like your male in this picture. Zaz has a very nice picture in her albumof an india blue juvenile displaying, he is looking straight at the camera just like your boy above and has his little train fanned out, on either side of his head you can see these green striped feathers all down his back and I'm pretty sure he is not a spalding.

Zaz had a peacocks that were under 2 years old and they had just as much of a train as Colbolt now. Colbolt had a train that had barely any green when he was 2 year s and nine months. Otherwise it was still barring til 3 years old. This photo is him 1 year and 6 months old.

Perhaps I should clarify: Hoppy's here making a cameo to reinforce the point being made by Dylan'sMom.

I know what she is talking about now but Colbolt didn't get his til he was 2 years and 9 months. This is him 2 years and 9 months. I can see green edging but it had no faint ocelli in the feather. It was just green just like those photos that are scattered across his train.

But he always had the barring didn't he? Even in the picture of him at 1year 6 months I can clearly see his barring. As Kathy stated males don't ever have solid brown feathers, not at birth, not at 6 months, not at 1 or 2 years...........never. Thora has hundreds of solid brown feathers, all over her back. To everyone on here that has owned Peas for a couple of years and raised a couple of chicks, it's as plain as night and day. Take Kathy's dare, post that pic on UPA ask them for their opinions and ask why they think so. I'd love to see what everyone says.
