I have an older Cayuga. We got her on Craigslist, the family had to get rid of their birds because their dogs were killing them... We have NO IDEA how old she is. When we got her about six months ago, she was solid black with iridescence. She started getting some white feathers about three months ago, and more and more are coming in. I know this is normal, I read about them, and I see that they do turn white when they're older, but HOW old? How old should I assume she is? Do they die soon after "aging" like this? Just preparing myself for it if that's the case...
