Question for Campine breeders/keepers

[3littlebirds]

Are your roosters hen-feathered (as in they have the feathering of hens rather than typical male feathering)? I read that this trait is more common in European Campines but rarer in America. I think hen feathering is a really interesting trait.

I know this is old, but to answer this question:

Yes, campine roos are hen-feathered. However, that does not mean they are supposed to look like, say, sebrights. They still have main sickle feathers, but not sickle shaped feathers in their saddle. Same with their neck/cape feathers. They will look like females in mainly those 2 areas. But still will have that rooster tail.
