So I just went outside and I do believe your girl is darker...though she doesn't share the black eyes. And all my other girls are developing the red area around the eyes and such but not her. She's still all black. Had a filter on when I snapped the photo. ..she doesn't have true blue in her feathers...oops. But the photos are close enough to her coloring as far as darkness goes. We ferment our feed so that's what you see all over her; she's a mess when she eats and can't clean it off properly. Thinking of bathing her but hesitant since she needs to preen and redistribute oil to fluff back up. Thoughts?We have one who is very dark but so far she hasn’t had any problems. I’m sorry to hear about your little ones cross beak. I attached pictures so you can compare if she is darker or lighter.
