I see what you mean... My Roo Phoenix (post #42) has the long, flowing tail feathers but does have a few tail feathers like Joe in post #22. Was just wondering if it's something that could be bred out or possibly it's because he's young (maybe they'll fall out and he'll just have the pointed flowing ones as he gets older)?
Honestly I really don't know about that. You could ask on this thread, maybe someone there can help.
