Colour change

[Guest Hjaltland]

One of my young birds this summer is a blue barred hen with a couple of white flights. The moult is almost complete now and I have noticed that the white flights have disappeared , being replaced by the normal dark flights.

 

I was wondering if this is a common thing and if you find any other noticible colour changes with age?

the only real colour change ive seen is the chocolates , ive bred them b4 as ybs were pure chocolate, but as they got older moulted in a lot of white feathers

Not common Hjaltland, but deffinately not rare.

I once had a blue cock that was blue for 4 years and when he turned 5 he became the most pencilled pigeon I have ever seen, never went back to being a blue

Wiley, seemed very strange to me when it happened had to check the ring number to make sure it was the same bird
