    The tube is essentially a calcium cocoon. Although it depends on calcification rate and such, it can happen in as quickly as a few days. The feather may take a little longer. HTH

    Funny that you just posted this. The same thing happend to one of my two large dusters about a week ago. I noticed the crown was completely off. Yesterday was the first day I noticed the crown emerging from the tube. So for me it took about 5 days. However the crown is much smaller now than it had been.
