Losing there feathers??

[chrisarvor]

This week my cock Lady Amerst has lost his complete tail feathers, they are alone so no fighting
Also there are more feathers on the floor in all my pheasant aviaries,golden and yellow goldens
they are all healthy well fed etc
Is this just a summer molt or any reason for this
Any advice thanks

My yellows, reds, silvers. elliots, lady and reeves all losing there feathers also with the summer moult.
Although my reeves tails have been gone since april.
This is a good sign that shows he is fertile.
Because the tail been so long breaks when he mates with the hen.
All my reeve eggs have been fertile 34 hatched out so far, and the two hens are hatching now also.
