Peach
 |
One of the newer variations discovered (though older than midnights and jades), Peach colored peafowl are still relatively hard to find and only a few major breeders raise them. |
|
Type of mutation: Peach is a sex-linked, recessive color mutation. |
|
Peacock Coloration: Males are a orangish brown color that is much lighter than the other brown peafowl (cameo and buford bronze). The wings and tail fade to a very light, almost off-white color. |
|
Peahen Coloration: Hens look like lighter cameo hens, with a light, almost off-white body and a darker neck similar in color to the males'. |
|
Peachick Coloration: Chicks are similar to cameo chicks in color, but have a slightly orange tint to their light brown. |
|
Origin: Peach was discovered in the early 1990s. |
|
Do they breed true?: Yes, Peach peafowl do breed true. Peach is also a sex-linked color, like Cameo and Purple. |
