Why don't you agree with the example? From what I understand the crest feathers of the green peahen are rounded at the ends and the green peacock's crest feathers are pointed at the ends. The photo clearly shows that and the peahen crest feathers from your photos look like the ones in the example photo just with different lighting. Are you saying the length of the colored feather portion in the example photo is not long enough?
In more than 90% of all cases feather picking starts when the birds are juvenile. When it starts, it is combination of boredom and play instinct. If you will not stop it immediately in this age, it will become to a bad habit and it is nearly impossible to stop it anymore.My new green peahen is eating my male feathers, mostly his crest and chest feathers, any idea how to stop her? He seems to enjoy it, he will bring his head down for her and she will eat his crest feathers, now almost all his crest feathers gone!

I didn't notice any sign of feathers picking before i got her, she was looking normal and she had all her feathers, its the only hen i found for sale here in the last year.In more than 90% of all cases feather picking starts when the birds are juvenile.

My experience is, the only way to stop is to separate the birds. It was already several times the case that a juvenile bird started within the first two years with feather picking and I have always immediately insulated these birds for approx. 3 month. After this time, I put them back into another group of birds and the problem was solved.
This is why I recommended in this post

that you should never buy birds which are showing obvious signs of feather picking. If you buy birds out of groups with feather picking, you never know how long this is already going on and in worst case, you never will be able to stop it.
