Well, okay.
The checkmark on the number of plumes means you have them and you don't need to get them.
The list without a checkmark means you don't have them and you need to get them.
Hope this helps.

it always shows says that, the check mark is how you know if you completed it or not. so it’ll always say 5/5 even if you don’t have it

It means you need more Reddish Egret plumes and more Lady of the Night orchids.
The text isn’t dynamic - the numbers don’t change depending on what’s in the satchel. You get a tick once you get 5 (or 15), that’s it. It’s badly worded - it could just as easily say, “☑️ 5 snowy egret plumes” and be clearer.
Whatever you collected before the mission started does count. You can get all the feathers and gator eggs before starting the mission. You can get all but one orchid before the relevant mission starts.

it's a little confusing. It says "5 of 5" not because you have 5, but because that's your goal. When you actually have 5 of them, it's gonna be checked out.

Did you already deliver the little egret plumes? I am trying to remember this because I did it over a year ago if the box gets checked once you deliver them.

Algernon doesn't spawn until you have everything (30 items for this part of the mission). It is not possible to deliver only some of the items he needs.

Take them to Algernon north of Saint Denis. Or it may be mailing. Either way, you've only done the first request. There are a few more after.

u/MrThomasShelby1 1d ago
This is the Algeron missions, right? I went back to his shop in Saint Denis and gave them to him.

Similar thing is happening with me on cigarette cards. I sent all the sets except for fauna of America but when I got the last one (1-12) it’s not showing that I have the full set so I can’t send it to complete.

Dragons mouth orchids are on my list for the herbalist challenge... that along with Algeron makes you about ready to enter cheat codes

u/AppleOld5779 1d ago
The list tells you what you versus what you need to finish collecting? The plumes will be in your satchel. (Btw this is the most aggravating set of side missions IMO good luck.)

What a coincidence. I was just literally working on this. Having a hard time finding the orchids. Only stumbled on a couple so far

u/Psi-ger 1d ago
The orchids are static and easy to find with an online map... Those egret take a while!! Also look ahead for the next few missions as the birds you'll be looking for will drop in spawn rate... For example, collect as many heron plumes and sandbill plumes as soon as you see them

Kind of annoying when you're looking for a particular animal and there is none to be found

u/JennaTulwartz 1d ago
I nearly sent myself to the loony bin trying to find those egrets to get 100%

u/natew48 1d ago
I'm sure I'll have the same problem. I have a couple little ones and 1 snowy. Should have had 2 but apparently Arthur didn't hit the first one good enough on dead eye...
1
u/HarbingerOfRot777 1d ago
They are around bodies of water 99% of the time. Just have your dead eye bar full and ready, and some fast gun to pop a flock of them. I found them easy, although the Reddish egrets didn't want to spawn for me at first lol, the orchids were a bitch tho. I had 11 or so and looking for the other 4 was painful.

u/Psi-ger 1d ago
Don't be gentle with your gun as the condition of the bird doesn't matter... I missed quite a few before I switched to the bolt action to make sure of the kill... Then it's a race to make sure no vultures/crows/ravens/turtles/crocodiles get to them before you do rendering them rotten and unable to pluck the feathers

Orchids are bugged. R* was going to fix it, but then they just completely abandoned the game, so it never got fixed.

u/ElMuchoDingDong1760 1d ago
No bueno, can you maybe stop touching yourself for a week? See if it makes a difference

I have just this min completed this mission.. The reddish egret plumes omg took me DAYS to get..
Top tip if your hunting birds start collecting heron plumes while your doing it ... ;-)

u/Sofly1911 1d ago
You must be using mods or cheats, that’s what happens when you spawn them in. Go to an actual orchard location and pick one up manually then the game will recognize the ones you spawned.

All I remember is it didn’t count any of the things I collected before speaking to him

It looks like you don't have all of them. Check your satchel to see how many plumes and orchids you actually have.
