How do established Western Yokohama tail feathers compare to extreme Onagadori specimens?

Generally do not reach truly prodigious lengths.

A key divergence between the established Western Yokohama and its ancestral Japanese stock, the *Onagadori*, lies in tail length. While the Yokohama retains impressive tail and saddle feathers that contribute significantly to its ornamental appeal, especially in males, these feathers typically do not attain the truly prodigious lengths that were the singular focus of the highly specialized *Onagadori* breeding programs. The Yokohama represents a practical compromise where breeders balanced beauty with hardiness, resulting in a tail that generally sheds seasonally, unlike the continuous, extreme growth sought in the original Asian fowl.
