[peafowl_Lover]

I am interested in buying peachicks the options are cameo, opal, bronze, opal blackshoulder, indian blue,silver pied and white. I have an Indian blue peahen I don't mind if they breed I like different colours.

Cameos are good

Yes I love them I am getting a black shoulder male 1 cameo and hopefully an opal!



When should I have them free range?

Should I let them sleep outside when they are older or put them in a coop?

Do you know how to sex 5 month old opal and cameo chicks?

Thanks I don't know should I get a cameo or an opal because they are kinda pricey.

Since the Cameo is a sex-link he will produce Cameo hens no matter what hen you use. The cock chicks will look IB and be split Cameo. If you buy the Opal all you will ever get are IB looking birds split Opal.
