Why is my Cochin changing color?

[nemisis]

My Cochin was born 29 weeks ago, he was all black until about 2 months ago & now is black & white, should he be changing color at this age, he is not molting? I am posting pictures of when he was all black & what he looks like today. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

He's definitely too young to be molting, so that's not the case........ sometimes when younger birds like this are still maturing, it takes awhile for their feather colors to even out, but still this is a pretty dramatic change........That's all I can think of though, that he's still kind of growing into himself.....:/

I hope someone can give you a better answer.......

I don't think thats the same bird. Unless he has a double sided beak......

I'm not questioning weather or not he's lying but I'm with you on this one, the actual bird its self look different in each photo not just the coloring.
