Peacock never grow his train

[Peafowlssssssss]

We have had five Pea Cocks over the years and just one left, does not let his train grow....he pulls his feathers out and I have seen several of my hens jump up and pull a feather out...could the hens be looking for calcium and does Big Blue have some sort of psychosis? Strange behavior. One Pea hen left and they don't seem to be interested in one another...does this bird mate for life?

No peafowls don't mate for life, i'm not sure if the hens are looking for calcium but i noticed my chickens doing this sometimes, one of the chickens that get used to it never stopped after that.

If anyone remembers this peacock, I'm happy to say he started to get his fancy tail

Gorgeous!

That was definitely worth waiting for

And he's obviously doing better under your care... nutrition, etc., he looks healthier overall, too!

He sure deserves the wait, he is fascinating now, and he starts to become my favorite.

He looks great!

Thank you.

Hey @q8peafowl , I was just looking at your video (nice pens!) and noticed your purple boy is split BS, isn't he? I guess I should have noticed from the first photo

He's a handsome boy
