Ahhhh.... what others said. Your boys are India Blue split for Black shoulder. We know the boys are split because their mother is a black shoulder... (split basically means a bird that is 'carrying another gene hidden'.. your boys are perfect example of this)

Pied is a completely different gene, and can't be got by crossing white with a blue. Crossing white with a blue will give you birds looking exactly same as yours, except for a couple white flight feathers.

If you want pied, it's "easiest"(because pied genetics is somewhat confusing if one doesn't understand genetics) to buy at least one visibly pied bird- bird with distinct white patches randomly on the body(wings, back, upper neck, head, sometimes on the back) like SDPeafowl's picture. You can either go for a pied pair OR one pied and one white- especially if you like both pied and whites, as this is a perfect pair to get lots pied and white offspring from.

Lots of UPA members have pieds so if you find some near you, chances should be good... Good luck!

Thank you for all your posts! Im so glad now I KNOW, LOL!!

The pen the parents are in is a Corn Crib that has a top. It is pretty cool! I have been trying to get one and people will just give them to you but you have to move them yourself, which in my case is my problem

So we have built a 24' x 24' pen and its working well!

The pieds are so beautiful, I guess I should just find a IB Hen and look for another pair of Peafowl.

Thanks again Everyone!!!
