What color is this boy?

[Invicta Farms]

He started off all white, now he's got some lavender in him? I don't know what color this is..

I would hazard a guess at opal. The only other two colors that show grey in mature birds are ivory and taupe both of which you would never get as a random chick in an assortment or by accident.

I don't know, I got hatching eggs from a local npip breeder, If I remember correctly he did have alot of silver pied peacocks...
but he's got hundreds, when he's grown I'll go get him a mate

If it was from a large breeder and the eggs came out of an overflow pen of mixed birds it could be a number of things, even something unknown.

Most likely came out of some split birds. Lots of times when people sell eggs the pens the eggs are out of are just whatever random odds and ends breeder birds they can't pair up with whatever bird they had hoped to. Depending the the breeder's practices for introducing new blood mutations can be introduced and "hidden" over a number of years.
