Rhode Island Reds feathers greasy...?

[BDL1969]

Hi,

I have a Golden Comet (Red Sex Link), Buff Orpington, Barred Rock and A Rhode Island Red. The Rhode Island Red's feathers seem to almost glisten with a greasy look to them. Anyone else notice this?

Thanks,
Brad

Yes, I have noticed that Rhode Island Reds seem almost greasy.

I had three of those once! They laid eggs often and ate more than the others, but didn't look greasy.

Yes!! I have one Rhode Island Red and her feathers look greasy. She seems fine, otherwise. About 18 weeks old.

The really dark ones tend to have more gloss. My Buckeye bantams were kinda glossy too, but to a lesser degree.
