I haven't been on in a while but I finally have some questions! My peafowl have layed fertile eggs this year and out of the 15 fertile peafowl eggs only 4 hatched! I sold 2 of them but I'm in the procces of convining my parents to let me keep them if they're girls. But the only problem is, I have 2 pairs and I think they're both from a different pair. And if they are I want to give one pair the other pairs chick so no inbreeding happens when the time comes. I have a spaulding male and HAD an India blue female(R.I.P.) when the chicks hatched. And the other pair is full India Blue. But when they were breeding my India Blue was beating up my Spaulding so we sepearted the pairs. But then my female India blue would fly over our seprator and into the other India blue's pen and lay her eggs from the purch with the other one.
So long sotry short, I have 2 chicks and I don't know they're breeds. Are they too young to tell yet? Also if you can tell the genders that would be helpful!
Also, ever since my IB peahen got out and into the woods on a fun adventure and probably died we had to get a new peahen. When we got her the lady who owned her said she didn't know what she was so I was wondering if anybody knew? She's 2 years old.

This is the believed IB
Sorry if the post is a little weird my computer was freaking out all over the place. Also if it helps I see them walking around with their heads closer to their bodies. One of the ones I sold always had his head up and looking around.
