- Here are a few more notes on important aspects of the plumage
of pure Onagadori.
- Note here in these illustrations that even though this Silver
Duckwing has an excellent tail length and fullnes, it lacks the highest
quality saddle (1/3 the length of the main sickles of the tail). I have
noted for you the extreme length of the actual flight feathes of the tail.
- This is another detail that shows the level of quality in an
Onagadori = the small grouping of feathers UNDER the tail. These should
also be much longer (up to 5 times the length) of normally-feathered birds.
When selecting which rooster to set into the breeding pens, use these quidelines
to aid you in your choices. In this way one can be sure to preserve the
quality of a good Onag.
