Peacock x Chicken hybrid.

[Fallenone05]

How would someone go about doing this

I think it'd be like the opposite of a bantam rooster trying to breed a standard sizes hen - if they can do the "cloacal kiss" and sperm is deposited, it can work. But a peacock is a lot bigger than a standard chicken, so I think that'd be your only concern is if the meeting of their vents took place.

Otherwise, definitely artificial insemination.

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.

I'm not so sure. I'd have to look into it more, but basically chickens and peacocks are both in the same taxonomic family, unlike chickens and ducks.

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

I absolutely agree, and I see nothing about it that looks like a duck. Just because it walks and stands different doesn’t mean it’s a hybrid. It’s probably deformed or injured

I don't see a reason why a Peafowl/Chicken couldn't exist

If you google it, it's apparently more common than you'd think.

I’ve seen that so I do think it’s real

Regarding the chicken x duck hybrid, my old rooster (now gone) used to tread my ducks everyday. When the eggs were cracked open to be cooked the white dot was often present indicating a fertilised egg. Whether they would hatch or not though is another matter but the fertilisation can and does take place
