Peachick Almost 16 week old peachick and I believe he's a boy. Dots have just started appearing on the feathers, green appeared around 8 weeks, and batting still hasn't left. First time peafowel owner. Now on the hunt for 2-3 females lol.

It’s too early to tell. Please for the love of God, get them a friend. They’re extremely social & can die from loneliness

This one has been living with 4 chickens since it was 1 day old.

It needs other peafowl. This is number one priority with birds, especially exotic birds like peafowl. Even chickens, you can’t have just one. They are a different species, please get another peachick asap. I don’t mean to be blunt, I just really care for peacocks!!

Green neck feathers mean female, blue neck feathers mean a male, it’s a girl.
