The BO has a totally different colored beak (besides different colored feathers) - are you sure someone didn't switch chickens on you????

this happens in cayuga ducks... they start all-black with green shine but by year two they're showing some white feathers and get more every molt.

theres a picture on feathersite of a maran hen that was black before her molt, and after molting she was black and white. it can happen.

It's ok to laugh IMO i see funny ones every day here.
some of mine get really red like this roo, it's not sunburn like some peeps think it is their skin getting ready for the new feathers.
this little roo is a good example of red threw and threw.
