Quote: Thanks. I have four more pullets that I kept, but they haven't quite finished molting, they started a little later than these two. Crazy birds were molting during our cold snap; it got down to -27 one night.

The 2nd and 4th pics are actually the same birds as the 1st and 3rd pics, just after their adult molt. You can match them by their leg band colors. They ended up with a nice amount of mottling.

Looks like 1st & 2nd are the same with the black band and 3rd & 4th blue band same hen. Are the 1st & 3rd picture before they moulted? If so then yes they have really good spangling on them.

Yup, 1st and 3rd pics are just pre-molt. I was just trying to show how much they can change between juvenile and adult feathering.
