Peafowl

Peafowl spawn in the wild as family groups called a muster. All peafowl can be found in Jungle and Swamp biomes.

Breeding

In order for peafowl to breed you need both a male and a female in close proximity to each other. They also have to be happy, which means you have to feed them and give them access to water. There also has to be a nest nearby, when these conditions are met the peahen will lay an egg in the nest.

Peacock

The peacock is a male peafowl, it has colourful feathers which it drops at a random interval. Killing a peacock will also drop a feather of it's colour, this will not happen for peahen or peachicks.

Peahen

The peahen is a female peafowl, unlike the peacock it does not have much colour and doesn't drop a feather on death.

Peachick

After the gestation period for a peafowl egg is done the egg will hatch and a peachick will emerge, these young peafowl grow up after a period of time. There is currently no way to tell if it will be a peacock or peahen because gender is determined when it is fully grown.
