Peacock losing crown feathers

[Annika514]

Hello! One of our peacocks has lost all but a few of his crown feathers. Is this normal, like losing the other feathers? Seems like an odd time since his train has just started coming back.

Thank you!!

Henpecked. Look for the hen with all of her crest feathers and she is the culprit.

Oh! I only have one hen. And she does seem to follow him around. Anything I need to worry about or will they work it out?

They are fine, he likes the attention of her preening him and she likes the crew cut look on him.
