You're welcome.

An All Flock type feed, or Flock Raiser. It's high protein, & great for all ages, & genders. Just gotta be sure to have a calcium source like Oyster shells in a separate container, or feeder for the hens. They know how much they need, & regulate on their own.

Layer feed is high in calcium. It's formulated specifically for high Production layers, like Isa Browns, Golden Comets, other Red Sex-link or layer hybrids, & Leghorns.

Yes.

I use 20% Nutrena Naturewise All Flock Pellets, & Purina 20% Flock Raiser with oyster shells on the side. I have roosters, & none layers, so the excess calcium would be harmful.

I supplement mine with Kick'n Chicken, Rooster Booster-Poultry Cell, or some Nutridrench once in awhile.

What do you feed? Sometimes feed with lower quality shows up in older molting birds, lower nutrition would result in pale, or lack of pigmentation in new feathers. Termed old age related depigmentation.

That's the same chicken.

Thanks. What I'm dealing with seems genetics related. Also extra nutrients seems to have an influence on the color change. Well, could be Vitiligo, an autoimmune disease, which also has genetic component to it. It's a possibility. But could be an oddball old man chicken :lol: .

Yep. This hen turned 3 this year, change happened last year at the age of 2. The mother also changed last year, she's about 5 now. MotherThe mother has more offspring, but only the cockerels have changed color so far. They'll be a year next spring. Bad picture.

Old age usually produces maybe 2-3 white feathers on a chicken. But most common is white spots on the head, or eyebrows. He reminds me of my Project Chameleons I'm working on.

That's alittle extreme for it just being old age. I've got a rooster around the same age, looks nothing like that.
