When will the adult feathers come in?

So this is one of my four 9 week old Black Minorca. She has these little furry feathers all over the neck and breast. The other 3 don't have any baby feathers left havent for weeks. So I was wondering how long it may last?

My older kids are now about 12-13 wks and still some of their fluffy stuff around their neck and tail feathers. I am not sure when it is supposed to go away. I know my Silkie will keep it always

Very young. The black copper maran roo came in at like 2 wks and has gotten progressively bigger. The Welbar pullet got hers about the same time but it has not gotten any bigger at all

Chicks go through several juvenile molts as they grow.

Usually there's one last molt before they hit POL.
