cluckbok Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just wondering do the hens feathers sometimes change colour before a moult? We've not experienced our moulting yet but I have noticed that Matilda our columbine's feathers have changed colour slightly, just a bit lighter around the neck area.

Christian Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 One of ours (an English Maran) went from grey to light brown before she moulted. I think it had something to do with the amount of time spent sunbathing Her new grey feathers are coming through again though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
