Yes those are the ones

When they spread their wings there are literally no feather - just the shaft of the feather

I know exactly what you mean and I have no idea why some of them do this.

No but for one of them it's so bad that if she jumps in the pool and takes a bath, after a while she will be soaking wet because she has no feathers to waterproof lol

Make sure their swim pools have a way for her to get out. I've had a couple get so waterlogged that they couldn't hop out. Luckily I found them before they got too cold.

Well you either trust my information or not. My Ducks are the same way. They molt out the down/Body feathers and keep the flight feathers or it's the opposite...
