[CHICKENS-101] Re: Question on Silkie Feathers

 

I mean that the primary flight feathers of this Silkie is held together like a normal feather. The bird has a classic flight feather.

My understanding of a Silkie's feather is that the barbicels, the little hooks on the feathers that hold it together, are absent.

Is this just a fault that is seen in Silkies?
