    Seeking Spalding peafowl photos for science!

    I can't imagine what a 'stock standard spalding' could be when there are wide variations of Spaldings ranging from very low to very high. I do not know what the feral populations are in Florida but assume that they are breeding with any type of peafowl they encounter be it a colored/patterned...

    Here is a nice example of a hybrid that is up there in Green blood. Although you can not see it he is split to Black Shoulder. He is being used to create Spalding Black Shoulder Red Buff hens. Notice hybrids do not breed true.
