"Brassiness is a 1/2-2 point cut per section so your bird would start off losing several points before anything else was considered.
There are a variety of possible causes of this brassiness including age of the feather, amount of sun, feed [too much corn] & genetics. Hard to identify the cause for sure.
When I have bred white birds I always culled birds that tended toward brassiness.
Hope this helps. "
Here is a pic of my older roo that he was talking about
I could be wrong, but I think his "BARN" looks pretty good. However, the paint job is gonna need a LOT OF WORK!
