Well, you can not blame a persecuted peacock for seeking
solitude (and something out in woods may have eaten him)
My own peafowls are penned with only one mature male per
pen.
As for old peahen in male plumage I had one of those who
finally died. She had not laid any eggs in recent years
and after her death I found the reason by doing a post
mortem exam. Her oviduct was impacted with a smelly mess.
Now I have two more old peahens just beginning to get a bit
of male plumage. These have not been laying any eggs this
year
