All 4 feathers will grow back together. About a month, at a guess.

If they have been pulled out at the quick they will grow in faster. If they have been cut they will not grow in till the next moult :-/

We have to cut the Indian fantails feathers for breeding, if wee pull them then they just grow backin

As a rough guide work on them growing 1/4 inch per day
