Peacock x Chicken hybrid.

[JacinLarkwell]

Most poultry can breed with each other. Resulting offspring aren't common, have short lifespans and are sterile, but it's becoming very common with people wanting to breed them

Also there are chicken duck hybrids, but they usually due within a few days of incubation. Too different to survive

As someone said earlier, it's a lot like crossing horses with donkeys. The results are mules (or hinnies), which are very much real but cannot reproduce. So it makes sense that most different types of poultry, such as peafowl and chickens, could potentially breed with each other.

I still think it's photoshopped
Not even my mom and nana say its real, but that's my opinion.

The question isn’t really whether the picture is photoshopped, but if it’s really a hybrid.

She must be photoshopped, that can't happen, you can't even breed a chicken and a duck, so what makes a peacock and a chicken anymore possible.

You can't breed a chicken and a duck because of different genital structure. I don't know much about peacocks, but I think? They have a similar genital structure?

They can make hybrids, but like most hybrids, don't live very long if they make it to hatch

This guy

has a youtube channel and posts videos of his hybrid, Chickpea.

I got curious and looked up the order, Galliformes, family, Phasianidae.

Both are all in the same families and orders, the only thing different is their species names - gallus gallus domesticus for chickens, or gallus gallus for junglefowl.

Peafowl have two varities of 'pavo' and 'afropavo.' Pavo coming from India, and Afropavo from Africa.

Wikipedia has quite a few mounted animals showing different hybrids from different gamefowl breeds/species. It even mentions people crossing turkeys with chickens - but unfortunately, all of their embryos died during incubation.

there's some reports on chicken/duck hybrids but they seem to be very rare

That appears to be a chicken with something medically wrong with it, I dont see anything that would suggest it's a chicken/duck hybrid
