Out of my 3 EE, I have one with no beard or muff but the other two have them! The one w no nuff went about 4 weeks w no tail feathers but now they are long like the others. These genetics can be goofy!
It looks like that in the pic but in real life they are the exact same shade and BOTH have a tiny bit of black at the end of their tail feathers! The New Hampshire had a lighter color head until about 2 weeks ago...I should’ve marked her when I saw it darkening but I didn’t think they would look...
