Cuckoo went white

[Gingerbeard backyardflock]

Has anyone ever had a cuckoo Moran that after they malted their feathers came in white.

A little more history on this bird this past May 2024 she started going greedy so we introduced her to some fertilized eggs from another farm. She hatched four of them, raised them and didn’t lay at all during that time which is normal shortly after she started separating from the chicks, she may be laid two or three times and then started to molt. The mold, appeared normal until her barring feathers did not come back and she ended up growing back white feathers. I’ll attach a couple of photos to show some of the progress.

Just curious if anybody’s had a bird completely change feather colors

Someone here had a bird turn white after a few molts, I think it was @MysteryChicken

Wow that's amazing! It's such a radical change, in that last picture she only has a handful of barred feathers.

I got a Cuckoo EE, who's turned white this earlier this year, & an EE cross who's all splotchy. Plus two EE cross roosters with areas of white.

They're my project Chameleons.
