How can you tell the difference between a male peacock and a female peacock?

Answer 1

Peacocks are the ones with the brilliant blue coloring and spread their tails (they're the ones that you think of when you hear "peacock"). Peahens are the females and they are about the same body size, but their feathers are mostly grey and black (depending on the breed also) They do not have the long tail feathers.

Answer 2

Determine the gender through the different color schemes for each gender. Peafowl come in many species, usually delineated by color. Observe your flock's color variances.

Check for red rust colored feather in males of the purebred blue variety and chocolate brown colors in the females. This difference is obvious at birth.

Determine the gender of the black shoulder breeds at around eight or ten weeks based on a green or tan lace pattern around the neck of the male. The female doesn't have this pattern. This pattern eventually turns into the blue neck so popular and well known in this breed.

Observe peafowl size. Green and white species are the most difficult to determine, as their colors don't display obvious variances by gender. A group or flock of these can be determined relative to size, as the male hens will be taller and have longer legs and necks.

Watch peafowl behavior. Mixed breeds or mixed color fowl will need to be determined according to behavior patterns and size, as color pattern may fail in this regard.

Size ranges won't be obvious until about 6 months of age. Therefore, in more difficult color breeds, you may not be able to determine gender until size differences emerge at this time.
