Weird Cayuga duck

[Chi]

My Cayuga girl is 2.5years old and at the beginning of this year, she changed colour. She eats well, lays eggs very well...Just wondering what kind of issue she’s having that her feather is not changing back...

It's the equivalent of human hair greying with age. Female cayugas get more white feathers with each moult.

Yeah but it’s been like that for almost a year. They don’t change back at all?

Nope! If a colored duck (meaning not white but includes black) lives long enough they can become entirely white! They don’t turn back, sadly. (Or fortunately because now you have a cool looking bird )

My black Runners and my blue Runner are turning white too. You can see my blue and one of my black Runners here.

Normal - not weird.

As she ages she will become more white with each hard molt..
