New peafowl chicks

[SouthernBelles]

I got 2 peafowl chicks today. They were sold to me as unsexed indigo blues. Does that look right? And if so any ideas on gender? 4 and 6ish weeks old.

2 pictures of each bird. The first 2 pictures are younger bird and the other 2 are older bird.

Thank you

Not likely Indigo as they are still fairly rare, more likely India Blue Pied and or split Pied or White.

Ok yes I miss typed. That should have been India blue. I saw the parents and none were pied. The person I bought them from was unsure why the younger one has so much white but said none of hers were pied. Any gender guesses? Even if it’s totally just a guess, i understand they are pretty young.

Ask again in a month. They carry an unknown white gene from the description of the parents not showing white feathers it is likely the chicks have a split to Pied or White. If one parent was Dark Pied it passed one Pied gene or if the parent was split to White it passed one White gene making the chick split White. So they are either split White or Pied.
