Peacocks, Peahens, Peafowl.

Also known as "Guinea Hens"

Guinea hens are much different than peafowl.

Guinea: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Guineas/BRKGuineas.html

Pea: http://www.strombergschickens.com/stock/guineas.htm#peafowl

But apparently can cross-breed...

Peaguinea: http://www.guineas.com/peaguinea.html
