It depends on the breed. Rhode Island Reds have red feathers. Leghorns have white feathers. Other breeds include feather colours such as black, brown, or a mix of red, white, brown and black.

Does any scientist prove that why is the peacock have got color ful feathers even though they have same skin as chicken?

Peacocks have evolved colourful feathers to attract the females for mating, similar to how roosters have colourful feathers for hens. The females are brown because they need to stay camouflaged on the nest. Because it is energetically costly for the males to grow these feathers (especially the long feathers of the peacock), it is thought that if a male grows these feathers, he is strong and healthy.
