That's great do you need any help telling the colors of what they'll look like as adults? I'd be happy to help!

Peacocks come in different colors?

Peacocks come in different colors?

Yup and those white ones are a lucky albino it seems. Also the white/brown one is a probable pied, and the brown one might be cinnamon or a wild type. I can't say what the gender is thought, they're way to young.

This is a pied, there my favorite color variation.

Not albino, just white.

"1. White Peafowl Have a Genetic Mutation​

White peafowl are often called albino, but albinism is a specific condition that causes red eyes and extremely pale skin. Albinism in peafowl is incredibly rare and largely unstudied. A 1965 paper on albinism in various birds found that only 99 individuals from eight species of quail, pheasants, and peafowl have ever been recorded.1

Gross, Alfred O. "The Incidence of Albinism in North American Birds." The Journal of Ornithological Investigation. 1965.



Most white peafowl have normal-colored eyes and pigmented skin. Their feathers are white due to a genetic mutation known as leucism, which inhibits melanin from being deposited in their feathers. Leucism also affects buffalo, horses, giraffes, deer, axolotls, and other birds."

Not albino, just white.

Wouldn't that be called a lusistic instead of albino, hope I spelled that correctly
