No eggs from 7yr old peafowl pair

[dandilee170]

I have a Blue India pair about 7 years old. When 3yrs old, I got eggs, were fertile and I hatched some of them. Last few years egg quantity has dropped and not one egg even started to develop. Last year only about 4 eggs all season and none developed. Coming on middle of July and I am starting to find a feather or two from the male like he is starting to molt (kind of early I thought) and I haven't found a single peafowl egg in the pen. I've seen her with the drooping wings like she would be before laying an egg. She was dodging the peacock when he was trying to make advances. I don't even know if he has been able to mate with her (if she would let him). I did have a red golden pheasant pair in with them, but took them out thinking to give the whole pen to them (peafowl). Anyone have any ideas why I'm not finding any eggs? I've seen holes where a rat may have gone but they have since been covered and haven't appeared to been opened again. I'm clueless. I check the pen often throughout the day.

It has been a terribly off year for all of us. Lots of late laying hens and some that don't lay at all

Same story here My Indigo pair, Midnight bs pair, and imperator greens did not lay at all and my other breeder groups only were about half as productive as normal.
