Welsummer Roo w/downey tail fluff ?

[TammyTX]

This roo is 15 weeks old and he still has light colored downey fluff at the base of his tail, will he grow out of this?

That will cover over with tail feathers and saddle feathers as he ages.

Looks like a nice sturdy cockerel you have there. Seems to be good potential in the looks department.

Thank you.

I am learning what makes a good bird, but mostly I have to go with my gut on which roo to keep.

Thanks for the info, I didn't realize they kept the lighter fluff.

And when they molt you may see it again. I do not worry over it but then I don't show my roos either.
