What Type of Peacock is This?

Breeding age IB sell for around $125 each in my area.

Average yearlings are $125 here, And he is a java green. He would probably be $450-$500 here. Which makes sense if you consider it would need special housing,ect.

The price sounds fair to me, With the greens I guess it seems it is hard to tell or if the are pure or not and I guess most in the US are not. But he is still a nice looking bird and I would like to have him, Around here I would have to keep him in one of my heated barns over the winter which kind of would be a pain.

A mature peahen right before the breeding season is worth a loooot more than $125/ea,, I think and more so with the greens and other exotic colors, given the fact that some breeders are getting 20-30 -40 eggs per bird per season

That looks like a high percent spalding peacock to me.

Too bad I'm not looking for one, he's soooooooooooo close to me!

Looks like a Spaulding to me. They are java and Indian blue crossed.

FYI- Java Greens are not winter hardy- and do better in CA, than NY. I found out too late, and had to install heat tape inside PVC pipes, for "perches" here in Ohio. My India Blues on the other hand- are very hardy.

I agree that Peacock is not Java but Spalding. Send me some Java greens - I have heat!
