    I agree, They don't mention other feather colours than white for a DQ and It doesn't have to be a whole feather either. I have some chicks come in with white in the primary tips and they loose those on the first moult. If they carry the white as an adult cull them. Although the green sheen...

    You might have to drive there. It can't be that far. I drove from Peterborough to Banff once in 48hrs by myself, up to the Yukon and back then back to Peterborough in 42hrs. I put on 11800km in 15days with 6 days of rest.
