[FluffyButts11]

Hi, any tips on what to feed white show birds. Also grooming techniques for whites.
I heard marigold can cause a shadow in white feathers, what other by-products can cause this in feeds?
I am new to showing, i have white seramas. Thank you!!!

Genetics will play a major role in Yellowing of feathers. If the bird is a dominate, receive white or sex-link silver will play role in how "true" the White.
Foods to watch out for are Yellow Corn, Animal Fats, Marigold and foods that are rich in Xanthophyll.
Also limit the amount of direct sunlight your White birds get, the direct sunlight will Yellow some White Fowl.
