The features of structure of integumentary feathers of different pterylae are set are heads, necks, backs, covered, stomach and thigh, and also comparative description of morphometric parameters of integumentary feathers of these pterylae is produced. It is set that the chickens of both breeds on the structure of large fan have integumentary feathers of all areas of body combined contour. The amount of stroke feathers of the first, second and third orders is set, and also smoked the amount of steering feathers of tail of both breeds. The features of structure of flying feathers of the probed breeds are set smoked. Large contour feathers which dorsal and ventral cover stroke and steering feathers, on the basis of analysis of their absolute and relative morphometric parameters, are attributed to the auxiliary flying feathers.
