What gender?

[ackie]

I dont know breed.

Bird 1

Bird 1 on left, 2 on right

Bird 2

2 was way easier to photograph. I have more pics of both if needed. 2 I've been confident about female-ness. 1 I thought was a boy and now I just wanna confirm that.

If you know breeds, that'd be fun to know too.

You have a male and a female. Looks like India Blue Peafowl. Alot of green on the females neck though...

Thank you! I guess the white veining is only when they're younger?

The picture of the back feathers is what sold it for me. The heavy barred one looks male and the mostly grey back with just barring on the ends is female.

The female has interesting coloring though, she is quite remarkable.

We hatched no peachicks this season so we bought some generic ones from some guy on CL hahaha.
