Very interesting about the Cayugas. I have seen that his beak has gone from the original black to white with a black tip now along with his legs not being grey and his feathers mostly white. I will post a pic when he finishes growing in his feathers.

I'd like to thank all of you for your posts yesterday, they were really helpful. I contacted someone I know at the vet college who thought it was very interesting and is going to research it more deeply. Who knows, maybe this guy is the first documented case in Romania, first identified by BYC...

No, it is the same bird, I only have one rooster and took the white photo yesterday. This was him Dec 4, 2020. I just joined today so I could ask about this, it is so strange.

Hello, first post but I have been reading the forum for a couple of years now. I wanted a rooster to sort out the hens from fighting and give some protection from predators. Breed was not important, I had to buy what I could get locally. He's a nice bird, not aggressive with people, takes good...
