can you consider this as a hennie feathering? does the cockerel has a heterozygous gene for Hf? the breed of the chicken is a Red jungle fowl , around 10-12 months old. coloring in the chest area seems uncommon for an RJF and the 2 tail feather is not very long. thanks.

Normal Feathering out of a young Red JungleFowl Cockerel. They all feather out similarly but at different rates.

I don't think he has any genes for hennie feathering. Jungle fowl, as @MysteryChicken has pointed out in a different post, feather out differently from regular domestic chickens.
can you send me that post or thread? i am interested more on learning about red jungle fowls.
