I have one peachick that is about seven weeks old. He fans to the baby chickens occasionally. Is this a sign of being male? I know you can possibly tell by feather colour but I haven't checked that yet.

I have one thats doing that at 4 weeks. I was trying to sex them by their tiny crest but they all look the same so either I have all of one sex or I can't read the difference. I guess at some stage they will get old enough to tell :-?

No both sexes will "Fan" their tail to any passer by even you

Here 1 topic on sexing with pictures viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1635&hilit=+peachicks there are lots more

At 3 weeks of age plus

Young peacocks (males) have a rust coloured lower wing feathers with flecking.

Young peahens (females) have no difference in the colour of the lower or upper wing feathers and are overall a more darker shade with flecks over their body.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure it is a male.
