I remember tail feathers starting to come in pretty soon, like within a couple of weeks.

I'll root around and see what photo's I can find.

Nine beautiful Runners, four beautiful Buffs, thousands of beautiful memories and counting.

Don't have a good tail closeup here, but I think you can see what Day 25 looked like with my Runners.

That was great! I cant believe how quickly the Cayuga grew in comparison to the soda can. Great idea!

guess my pekins are freaks they got the start of tail feathers and then their belly and chest areas are feathering... and now they are getting wing feathers...

I'm a Dog trainer... I do Dog Agility... then I got the crazy idea to try herding so I've gotten ducks and some chicks for eggs... and now I may end up doing shows with them too... yes... I have lost my mind.

Oh and did I mention I do vehicle decals (right now it's mostly dog designs) and lettering... and Tshirt's and coaster sets and decorative tiles... hey I've been out of a regular job...

My Pekins are maturing much faster than my cayuga and mallard, so mine must be freaks as well!

Also a Pit/Mastiff mix, an American Bulldog, 1 cat, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and a koi pond.

Oh.. can't forget my daughter, granddaughter, step-son, and wonderful husband!
