Muscovy hen changing colour

[Miss Lydia]

They are all gorgeous. Looks like you one female has some buff coloring in her feathers but I Am not into genetics so I was hoping @learycow would offer some insight? I love your kitty bringing up the rear in that last pic.

It's best to wait for a new molt with new, clean feathers.
Old feathers like she has can be color confused from dirt, stains, and sun bleaching

She was a dirt stained before she attempted to molt. The ducks did a half molt and now she has coloured feathers coming in. Much clearer now particulary around her head and neck. I'm confused that they didn't do a full molt, I was really hoping those wing feathers would drop out and tidy up abit

Wings are the last thing to molt. Make sure they have access to quality feed and whole oats. That will help
