What peachick's do i have? Mixed colors...

[thegman]

Hi everyone. This is my first post on BYC and its great to join. I am not new to keeping birds as i have had ducks for years but i recently just got into peafowl. I incubated over a month ago 3 eggs that a friend gave me and they have all hatched fine. I am however confused to what type of peachicks they are as their colors are rather mixed. Could anyone please give me some help on what they are? I was told that their parents where Indian blues but from the research i have found so far they do not look like Indian blue chicks...

Thanks in advance for replies!

Look like Indiablue ( bottom ) and the other two are Indiablue pied.

Welcome and congrats on your hatch! This is my first year also with peafowl...I love them!!! I raise chickens and have raised ducks in the past. You will love this place for advice. It's great talking to the people and meeting their peas too

I agree with pedda.
here are a couple of my pied as an example.

wow they look lovely! Yes i do love my peachicks. I let them out of the brooder for 10 minutes and they run wild. They love following me as well. They are also picky eaters when it comes to their food.
