I had to google that - It really does fit him!

With those massive beards those chickens have, they look as if they are amish lol

Here's one of our younger boys...Gilderoy Lockhart. His mom is Wheaten Mararns/Ameraucana. His dad is full Blue Wheaten Ameraucana.



The pic was taken with my cellphone...

Well, my Wheaton AM x Blue Andalusian chicks are just starting to get red leakage on their shoulders. Kind of hoped for a solid blue bird

Is it true that the birds can change different colors after the molt?

I have seen that claim made several times, none of my birds changed colors after their first molt, one did have a slight change, the feathers across her back had more blue/grey after her molt, but she essetially looked the same and just those few feathers changed, she already had blue in her feathers so it wasn't a new to her color.

I had 2 white hatchery EE and after their molt the both had a lot of buff color on their breast. They didn't have that before. I don't think that is normal though.

I will see what my white EE looks like after molt, she is with a clutch and hasn't started to molt yet, I hope she does soon. I always have that one that molts late going into winter. She is very dirty right now.

They can definitely change a lot growing from chick to adult, and I've seen birds come out with slightly different color patterns after a molt, but they had the same colors in them, just in different places.

This is what I was going to say. One of my chicks had a nice grey beard and lost it in her juvenile molt

Man I hope my EE doesn't loose her beard. I'd love for her babies to have little beards. Oh well we will see, not like I can tell the chickens what to do or what not to do.
