Wow, that's interesting to hear!! Your poor rooster... he must have been so embarrassedOnly as they molt. She showed pictures later somewhere. Im not sure if it was in that thread or elsewhere. You might be able to lighten it by giving frequent baths.
My white rooster went through most of last year with a purple bum because he somehow scraped himself on something then got flystrike. I caught it very early and after cleaning him up, coated him liberally with Blukote. That dyes feathers very effectively.
