If your 4-H'ers get confused because people call a type of green PEAFOWL species "Javas" because there's also a BREED of CHICKEN called "Javas", then the solution isn't for the peafowl people to change the name but for the 4-H leaders to improve the SCIENCE education of the kids involved. After all, the wild SPECIES of peafowl existed before the BREED of Chicken.
And what do you do about Orpingtons and Anconas (these are breeds of ducks as well as chickens)?
Just something to keep in mind before you jump in on a post from 5 months ago.
