Thanks, I sure hope the 2 I have are not cockreals!!!!!I felt like the SLW chicks we raised this year took forever to feather out - definitely slower than other varieties we've had. I think it was around 7-8 weeks before the males feathered out the very last feathers on their backs.
This is at about 7 weeks.
They are looking big and beautiful now. The slow feathering is no doubt valuable for the clean, crisp lacing.
