hello folks! haku, my gold welsh harlequin hen, has recently begun molting. sounds usual, right? only, this time, haku appears to be growing drake feathers! they've got dark green feathers coming in on their head and dark salmon feathers coming in on their chest. haku's voice is also starting to...
