The answer is, because there is no friction (air resistance) to take in account: they fall at the same speed. In the real world 10Kg feathers would fall slower because of the air resistance/friction.
What has mass got to do with acceleration due to gravity? In a vacuum, even 1g of feather would fall in the same time as 10kg of lead, if dropped from the same height.
