Peahen turning into a peacock at 4+ years old! ?

[R2elk]

@R2elk , this subject came up in another thread and I was wondering if you could point me to a link that talks about this?

I cannot remember where I got that information from but here seems to be a reputable source.

Another source supporting the first. Sources #3 and #4.

Are you still around @TJChickens?? Any update?

Yes, she likely has a damaged ovary.

I've posted before about the hormone inbalance that comes from that condition and the resulting phenotypical masculine traits.

Here I am!
I don't ever get notifications anymore, so I have no idea when someone is trying to talk to me.
I do still have this peahen. She has a completely eyed tail although it is short, and her neck feathers finished turning blue! She is starting to act a bit more like a male.I'll try to get a picture on here!
