Saddle feathers, I'm still learning & confused

[Robin'sBrood]

about these on roos. Do you see any on my 9 week old BO and if you do, please explain where they are and what they look like. Thanks!

He is too young to have any yet. Most of the bigger, fluffier breeds seem to get them pretty late I have noticed. With that comb and wattles it definitly looks like a roo though.

Saddle feathers are long pointy feathers with shiny edges that are found on the back of a rooster from inbetween the shoulders to the base of the tail.
Roosters also get feathers called Hackles, same thing as the saddle feathers its just they get those on the neck.

Hope this helps
