Can only guess at this but I do know that when a feather
follicle is empty after feather is ripped out it usually
will start growing a new feather. but if feather is cut or
broken off the stub will stay there until molting time.
Due to an oversupply of varmints (predators) my own peafowls
are in covered pens at all times. Even my chickens are
confined except on afternoons when I can be around to
protect them. I really do wish that my peafowls could be
free to roam.

The worst are the dogs here, I don't allow mine to roam but many of the folks in the country think it's okay, many have lost there dogs to coyotes too.
This was a dog I suspect, but could have been coyote. My donkeys are pretty good security but not perfect.
