White Leghorn yellow tinge

[mellissa]

hi all

My lovely white leghorn has slight yellow tinge. Tried washing twice in white dog wash. Any sure fire way to get rid of yellowing?

Skin, beak, or feathers? She looks fairly normal to me

Sorry feathers

I think it’s sun exposure that’s given feathers yellowish tinge. How do I get them pure white again? Poultry show 45 hours away.
Thanks

feed that has too much corn in it? I've heard that can tinge white feathers yellow...

The feathers in mine start to yellow right before molting. Has she ever molted before?

She just finished moulting and new feathers came through Snow White but over last month have gone a slight yellow.

What kind of soil do you have? Could it be from dust bathing?

Hi Bob, we have red volcanic soil, that sends my whites orange. Well I bathed her again I still felt there was yellow tinge but she won first place in her class yesterday.
