Description
Purple Peacocks are very like the Indian Blue coloration, however they have hues of Purple sheen on their neck and breast.? The train of the Purple peacock is darker in color than an Indian Blue and there are shades of purple and green within the eyes of the tail. During the period when the peacock has a full tail, the colors fade to the point that when the peacocks molt much of the color has been lost.
The Purple Peahen is darker than the Cameo Peahen, but lighter than the Indian Blue Peahen.? They have purple colored feathers on the back of their necks instead of the Green color of the Indian Blue Peahen or the rusty color of the Black Shouldered Peahen. They are very pretty peahens.?

A Purple male bred to any type of hen (besides Purple) will produce 100% Purple hens.
However all male peachicks with be split to Purple and the color of the hen.?
