The white mutation occurs primarily in captivity. When a white hen breeds to a white cock it will always produce white offspring. If a white peafowl is bred to a colored peafowl, the offspring will be a striking mixture of both colors.
Instructions
Keep your white peacocks in a secure, outdoor aviary. The ground should be dry and well-drained, and there should be plenty of cover in the form of small shrubs. An aviary for white peacocks should be at least 400 square feet.
Provide your white peacocks with sturdy wooden shelters for nesting and escaping the elements. Shelters should be at least five feet by three and a half feet.
Feed white peacocks the same diet that you would feed Indian blue peacocks. Pheasants are omnivorous birds, and enjoy a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, and insects, such as grasshoppers, slugs, and snails. In captivity, they can be fed meal worms.
Commercial feed is available. Ensure that the commercial feed you use is high in protein, and supplement the feed with fruits, vegetables, and other sources of protein.
Supply your white peacocks with a constant supply of clean water. Pheasants favor fresh, flowing water.
