It could depend on the season where you are. A peacock will
lose train and grow new feathers at end of breeding season.
Individual peacocks molt at different times even if they
all live on the same farm. Here where I live one peacock
will molt in May while another may keep full train almost
until October

Author: Judith [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 02:22:34 07/08/14 Tue I have had him a couple of years and previously he has been beautiful but this year he has never had the beautiful eye feathers but he does have all the others - he is fanning and chasing his ladies he seems fine but something is not right. We live in the UK.
