Keeping them white.... Keep her out of the sun. It whitens ducks, but yellows chickens. Stay away from yellow corn...scratch, cracked corn, even flock raiser pellets that have yellow corn as a main ingredient. If you want to keep her white, clean sawdust is a must. Once feathers are stained or broken off, the bird has to go through a molt to repair the damage. There are whitening shampoos that help a little but they usually leave a bluish purple tinge to the feathers. It still is really tough to get seriously stained feathers ready for the show ring. If you don't want any feathers damaged from mating, you remove the cockerels/roosters too.
