Can someone tell me if this is a peahen? I don't know how old it is but it is under a year. The barring on its back and the bronze flight feathers say a male but to me it certainly looks female.

Hi
I don't have a lot of experience in peacocks and that but judging from other pics of peahens I would say a peahen

He's a peacock :-D

Peahens have no barring on the wings/back and grey flights

He looks about 6-7 months old ;)

Thanks for your replies. I thought it must be a male but was hoping I was wrong. the green neck put me off. I now have 4 peacocks and no hens as my one and only hen got killed by a fox last year. If anyone knows of any peahens for sale in NSW, I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Darren

Young hens should be starting to turn up in the sale areas soon, do you care if its a pied or white? or do you just want blue? I will let the TW members know of your topic, see if they can help with a hen or two
