13 tail feathers

So I was over Jerry's today and he asked me if I started dropping Aerial's weight yet and I told him no because she still has a tail feather to drop. I also told him i've collected all that she's dropped and it's just the one broken one left that needs to drop. In disbeleif he counted her feathers and found 13. a new one was growing in directly iunder the one yet to fall out. I always thought The old fell out then the new one startered. Anyone ever have this happen before?

Yup.... Ruger my last RT had 12 tail feathers as a juv and grew in 13 as a adult. I noticed when I counted all 12 tail feathers and started to drop weight . A day or so later I saw the 13th feather start to peak out under the newly grown deck feathers.

well guess it's time start dropping weight and get down to business since she was at 54 oz today.
