Never underestimate the beauty of “impure” cayugas

Cayuga's are supposed to turn white as they age.

I’ve heard that some more “pure” ones don’t. Mine hatch and grow white feathers right away. Some people’s don’t grow them at all

I've never heard of pure and impure cayugas (unless you're talking about mixes). I think almost all female Cayuga's will grow white feathers at some point in time. Some earlier than others. I don't think males go white, though I may be wrong.

Here is my Lily at a year old.

She’s beautiful! Most of my hens got white feathers right from hatch. The most white girl in my pictures is 2 years old. The others are only 1
