This article is about an older version of DF.
A small forest bird. The male's tail creates an extravagant display for females. At night, they roost in the trees.

Blue Peafowl are small birds found in tropical broadleaf forests. The males (peacocks) have bright blue plumage and tail feathers that make large, "eyed" fans. Females (peahens) have brown plumage, and lay Template:Ls in a Template:L. If a peacock is present and the eggs are not Template:L, they may eventually hatch into peachicks. Peachicks grow into adults 1 year after hatching.

Peafowl can be used as the basis for a poultry industry. They can often be purchased at Template:L or from Template:L. Peafowl, Template:Ls, and Template:L are the only common domestic egg-laying animals that can be found an wild populations, and, if your fortress includes the proper Template:L, can be gathered with Template:Ls and Template:L at a Template:L, instead of purchased from traders or at embark.

On average, peahens lay slightly fewer eggs than Template:L, but are more consistent (and therefore predictable), laying between 6 and 8 eggs per clutch. Additionally, peafowl produce more Template:L, Template:L, and Template:Ls then chickens when butchered as part of a Template:L. However, Template:Ls lay more eggs and produce more meat, fat, and bones then peafowl, although turkeys take twice as long to grow to full size. Tame Template:Ls produce much more meat, but only a maximum of 3 eggs per clutch, and are therefore a much worse choice for a poultry industry.
