Does a young peacock resemble the adult peacock?

A young peacock does not resemble an adult peacock. Young peacocks, known as peachicks or peafowl chicks, are born with brownish-grey plumage and lack the vibrant, iridescent colors of adult peacocks. As they grow and mature over several months, their feathers gradually develop the distinctive colors, patterns, and iridescence that peacocks are known for.
