Well his neck feathers aren't blue they are more of a green color and he has a little bit of white on his side on one side

He's quite young still, last year's hatch. As he matures, the green will become more blue.

Maybe it's just the lighting, but if I compare him to my 2012 boys, he's way greener than my 8 month old IB boy.

I'd love to see more pictures of him.

Btw is he to young to bred with a female?

From what I've read here, I would have to say that he is still too young to breed. Maybe someone with more experience will answer?

I have seen some very young 6 mo.old peafowl mating. producing nothing. . it is said, in general, that a two year old male with at least one eye in his train feathers is capable of fertilising the eggs.. My blackshoulder hen born very early in the season,as a yearling, being with a mature male laid 4 eggs and I was able to hatch 3 of them
