Cameo Spalding
 |
Type of mutation: Cameo Spaldings are hybrids of Blue and Green Peafowl, with the Cameo color gene. |
|
Peacock Coloration: Cameo Spaldings exhibit typical brown Cameo coloration. However, they are taller and leaner than regular Cameos, with more color found on the facial skin, tighter crests and a more streamlined appearance. |
|
Peahen Coloration: Females look similar to regular Cameos colorwise, but have the Spalding body type and facial features. |
|
Do they breed true?: Yes, the Cameo coloration will breed true in its typical sex-linked fashion. The amount of Green traits does vary a bit from bird to bird, as with typical Spaldings. |
