Sorry about handsome Dino.

That was my first thought!

Imagine a huge room full of teens at a dance with black lights everywhere. It's odd looking when you see it the first time. :) Yes, somethings appear to change color, but white always glows.

Black lights were "a thing" when I was a teen. They were used at dances, teens bedrooms, etc. If you light up a room (which would other wise be pitch dark) with black lights all white will look illuminated. If you have on a white t-shirt it will glow. Pancake white makeup (think clown make...

She is still a very pretty girl! Wonder if she will grow in more red feathers? Tri-color would be very pretty too.

Definitely different lines. Some in different parts of the world. All are kept by long time Marans breeders so I don't think any came from hatcheries. Was just an observation of a limited amount of birds and breeders. Not a scientific study by any means. That would need controlled groups grown...

I have a Mocha in my flock too. She is a Black Copper Maran. Just turned 5 years old. Sometimes I don't name my in the beginning either. Seems like many times they "find" their name as they grow.

#3 The bearded guy has a handsome face. #4 and #5 I like the patterns on these pullets. :love #6 If there is a chameleon in the bunch it is this one! Have you named these yet?

Good luck! :fl

It still seems to be evolving. Odd.
