Hello, I went to a show yesterday with a fairly decent buff cockerel. The judge really liked him, but noticed some white on the 2nd from end wing feather on both wings. He said to go home and gently remove those 2 feathers. So my questions are: how much is too much white? Is that cockerel done showing until they grow back? A few other wing feathers have white quils, near the bottom, is that as bad as white feathers? Thanks

In my buffs, I don't notice any white until 2 or 3 years old. I haven't had a problem with young males. I would say after you pull the white feather they will come back in white. Never hurts to try. In my time with buffs, white in wing feather is common in older males. Females seem not to have a problem.
