One of our buffs has black on her feathers too but one doesn't. The black feather girl also has green eyes while the other's are blue. wonder if the black on feathers will count against her when my stepson shows her this summer? I'll try and get a pic

Couldn't get the camera to focus...but what you see isn't dirt.

I don't know, but I'm sure someone else will, and I would like to know the same, because mine have that too.

I have one like that too. Have no idea why her tail is like that.

Mine have black/brown dots/spots in their tails and/or wings as well.


Found a couple of links. Looks like it is called "peppering".
