Structure and composition of rooster feathers

🐓 Rooster feathers are composed of keratin, the same protein as our nails and hair. They are divided into several distinct parts:

• The rachis: The rigid central shaft that supports the feather.
• The calamus: The base of the rachis that inserts into the rooster's skin.
• The barbs: Fine and flexible branches that extend from each side of the rachis.
• The barbules: Tiny hooks that connect the barbs together, creating a flat and waterproof surface.

Variety and colors of rooster feathers

🐓 Rooster feathers come in a multitude of shapes, sizes, and colors, each with its own characteristics and attributes. They can be in elegant black or orange and black, for example.
