I hear of a disease among the moorfowl.

We carried in leathern pouches a store of bread and meat for the midday meal; and William had made shift to shoot a moorfowl that he spied running midst the gorse by the wayside.

The valley is reached, and the moorfowl, flying low, are hidden from view by the tops of the trees; but the hawk can be seen scudding along above them.

We had a moorfowl and mutton-chops for dinner, well cooked, and a reasonable charge. 

In the same way moorfowl means, not a moor that is connected with a fowl, but a fowl that is connected with a moor.
