Hen featherd serama rooster

[SeramaLife]

Are his saddle feathers pointy?

 

[CindyS]

he is 1 1/2 years old. He does not have those long streaming saddle feathers like a normal rooster.

I think he looks handsome with the hen-feathering

I bet he could be used to improve Sebright type

if you needed to..

 

[chubakkalokz]

he could be a hen-cock but in the version of Serama

They look rounded...its weird to look at.

You look at the front and think roo, and you look at the back and think hen.... lolol

Yet another weird Serama variety that has popped up!

Is Hen-Feathering a dominant trait?

He is AWESOME!!

Interesting. How far back do you know the history of his bloodline?

I just read on another forum that henfeather is passed on by the hen, not the rooster, don't know how true that is though.

I like him

I asked a similar question a while back concerning Sebright mixes and hen-feathering. I believe this will help. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=231135

Henny Feathering: Hf
Is an autosomal incomplete dominant gene that causes female-type plumage structure and ( if applicable ) plumage pattern and colours on males. It works by affecting the hormones in the feather follicles, and is a breed characteristic of Campines, Henny Game, pullet-breeder Pencilled Hamburghs and Sebrights.
