Vent feather regrowth

[Carm]

How long does it take to grow trimmed/plucked vent feathers back? I want to be breeding by the end of February and show in the fall. Is there time for substantial regrowth? Or do I leave some as show birds and breed with them next season?

Cut feather don't grow back, molt will get them back. Plucking feathers will grow back in like 8 weeks.
If you want to show early fall you might pluck.
