Color question
Posted: Thu May 28, 2009 1:45 pm
I have a hen aproximately two or three years old, bought from a friend who no longer could handle the bird. She bought the bird at a flea market. I know it is a hen becuase she laid eggs. She seems to be a very odd color of greenish brown, but not all over, just mainly on her head and back and wings. Her flights arevery dark and her tail on the topside is blue, the bottom side is yellow. Her nails are grey or dark grey, but not black. Her beak is dark on the bottom, but striped dark and red on the top. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of her, she has me stumped for sure. She is molting right now, and looking very drab. I know she was not being fed properly so I was wondering if that could affect her color and she really is a normal green, but lacks vitamins and such? Thanks for your help.
