    Saddle Feathers?

    I feel like I'm starting to see some dark and pointy saddle feathers coming in on this polish chicken. Can anyone confirm if what I'm seeing is saddle feathers? For reference this is a 10 week old chicken.

    Thought this was a hen..

    Hen or roo? Totally thought this was my hen out of 4 straight runs.. but now the saddle feathers area is looking more bustled with narrow feathers coming in. No color leaking though. Black/dark grey americauna - probably a mix. Around 16 weeks old. Hasn’t crowed yet though. Please help!

    Chicken Saddle

    I'm looking for saddle recommendations for a Silkie hen. She's my rooster's favorite gal and given that she's molting, she's a little bald in spots.
