I figured you might. In fact I was torn whether to just message you about everything or share it with everyone. Of course I will share the references. As soon as they are made public I will share them.

Is anyone else interested in reading them?

Yes please.

I think she is gorgeous. All the changes just make her beard and side burns stand out more. She is a beautiful cream color now.

And let's not forget that many of us are envious of the ability to get less grey with age.

Well played!! That has cracked me up.

Thanks Bob, she's a special hen to me. She was sold to me as a 3 day old chick "Americana" so I named her Canna. She's almost 4 years old now.

Where Did the Brown Go?

Is it just me or is Aurora losing the brown on her wings? Not to mention a lot of her grey.

OH! I bet she's going to keep getting lighter with each molt. She's beautiful either way!

I love her coloring. She is real eye candy.

The only other hen I have seen color change with was Patsy. She got more red feathers with each molt. Does that happen a lot?

I think it does in the cross breeds. I've seen it in my EE hens a lot. Almost like a Siamese cat getting darker as they age.
