Description: One of the very newest color mutations, Midnight peafowl are still rare and pricey. Unlike any other known color mutation, the first Midnight was a blackshoulder, not a normal barred wing.
Type of mutation: Midnight is a color mutation. Although the original Midnights were blackshoulders, combining the color and pattern mutations, Midnights are now also available with barred wings.

Peacock Coloration: Males are a darker blue than India Blues, but still retain their iradescence. Unlike what their name suggests, Midnights are not black.

Peahen Coloration: Midnight Blackshoulder hens resemble India Blue Blackshoulders, but they have more black on their backs. Their primary wing feathers are a darker shade of brown, and they have a larger patch of brown on the back of their neck.

Origin: Brad Legg discovered the first Midnight peacock at an animal sale in 1998. Since then, he has done extensive work to establish this mutation and create Midnight colored birds with other pattern combinations.

Midnight blackshoulders breed true.
