White tail fluff
greeneggsandham:
Regarding the above picture, is the fluff that shows though the side of the bird next to the saddle feathers a fault also? I have a few roosters with this side fluff so I would like to know.
Mike Gilbert:
I would need to see a photo of what you are asking about.
greeneggsandham:
It\'s in the picture that Schroeder posted on the previous page. The fluff that is sticking out besides the saddle feathers and above the wing. It is dark in color in that photo.
Mike Gilbert:
That particular bird has a lot of problems. The Ameraucana Standard is silent with regard to undercolor showing through in places other than the base of the tail, but why would that be considered anything but undesireable? In adult birds that have abundant feathering of the proper length, the undercolor should not be showing anywhere under normal circumstances, with the exception of the muffs.

Mike:
I agree that bird has a lot of problems although I should have pointed out it was very windy that day.
