Leg feathering??

[Anime2lover]

I posted about this same question a while ago, and was told that the leg feathers would go away when she got her new feathers. Shes already molted and gotten her adolescent feathers, and now is almost done molting those and getting her adult feathers. So my question is, why does she have them? Will they still go away? Or might she keep them??

It’s probably just from bad breeding practices, where did you get her?

She was born with them. She hatched from eggs that belonged to our ducks. I like them personally.

Where did you get her parents? They probably came from bad lines and that is why it has those feathers

Parents were given to us by another duck owner. We dont know where she got them. They were having predator problems so they had to get rid of their surviving animals. I do know that the parents didnt show the feathered leg though.

Is this something to worry about? I really would like to know since this is kind of a weird thing. Is there anything you'd have to watch for in birds with this condition?

Im not really aure. I've been told that it shouldnt be cause for worry, but I was also told its it's supposed to go away.

Never saw that before on ducks,
I wouldn't worry about it.

It's not bad breeding and it's nothing to worry about..
