Feathers

So when do Chickens feathers come in all the way? When do they look the way they are gonna look when they are grown?

Thanks,
Michelle

Depends on the breed, but I think most feather in from about 4 to 6 weeks. My 7 week old variety is fully feathered now, with just tiny little bits of down sticking on here and there.

Mine are 4 weeks old and have just gotten feathered heads and necks. That is almost the last thing to feather. The tail is first then the inbeetween the wings. There are just a few unfeathered spots under the wings but they are pretty much fully feathered.
