So my male muscovy Jack broke off all of his tail feathers fighting with his brother (who we've since re-homed). I pinned him down and pulled about 8 or 9 out. A week later I pulled some more. I didn't want to pull the rest until I saw some growth. Now here it's been 3 weeks since I pulled the last group and no sign of new growth.
He is eating chicken layer feed which is about 17% protein. Is there a reason they aren't growing back? Will they come back in the fall if he molts? Is there anything I can so now? He looks so odd without a tail.
