Molting more than tail feathers?

[Annika514]

Both of my peacocks started molting over a month ago and have pretty much lost all of their tail feathers. But I feel like I’m finding a lot of their other tails around, too. Is it normal for some of their other feathers to come out during this molting, or do I need to be worried about something?

My peacocks would molt their whole body whenever they molted. I'm not sure if that's the norm across all peacocks, but mine never had any problem with it

And!

Every feather will be moulted out over a period of time, only the train comes out all at once.

Thank you!! I appreciate you answering all my questions! Sounds like you have quite a bit of experience raising peafowl- glad you’re here to help newbies like me!!!

fall makes them look grungie but by midwinter their trains and feathers will be growing back in.
