I just bought four poults a couple days ago...

These are the Blue Slates, Louis & Ana

This is my Chocolate named Coco

The last is a Bourbon Red I named Cinnamon. This one is actually the reason I bought the poults at the feed store. I opened the cage door and all the others ran away then out of no where this one came hoping and bouncing towards me and literally hopped into my arms so I just had to keep it lol and find it some friends.

On the way home the Blue Slates kept playing peek-a-boo in my hoodie pocket lol

Those are SO cute!

So cool! I know in pigeons the chocolate/brown color fades allot in the sun, not sure if it does in other kinds of poultry too. But his colors look just like how my pigeon does before and after a molt

That's weird

then I have no idea why that would happen. It looks cool though

We keep Bourbon Reds. Here's our hens checking out their new lay box.

Turkeys are so much fun. We love their personalities, so curious and silly.

My toms start the season all dark and pretty, the sun bleaches them out through the summer, more than the hens, I'm assuming because they are always displaying and catching the sun. In the fall they molt and become darker again. That would be my guess what's happening.

You have nice looking birds and a really nice set up.
