Even if Mumble looked like all the others, he would still stick out because of his yellow bow-tie mark, white cuff marks on his flippers, a split tail and blue eyes.

The director just underestimated his audience. (And as a result, the whole franchise suffered.)

Also, they had completely finished the whole film by then with Mumble looking fully adult. But they just went back on that just before the film hit theatres. If there were books and pictures released showing him with adult feathers, it is pretty clear that they had filmed him with adult feathers.

Here's a quote from George Miller proving that:

''"Also, he has six million feathers on him (as a half-teen, half-adult). The computing power is huge to do that and once we got him, I didn't want to lose that." ''
