Saddle Feathers

[Brenda Schonig]

Can someone please tell me what saddle feathers are? Maybe a picture to show me? Thanks

I think it's the feathers that run down the chicken's back just before the tailfeathers.

This is a very good post full of charts of different parts of a chicken...

They are long thin pointy feathers near the tail on the back that spread over both sides in a fringe like fashion

On lucky they are golden colored with black

On ZoomZoom they are dark orange colored next to the deep rust color on his back and hang long...

Hope that helps
