Yellow chest feathers?
Hi y’all! I have a Silver Applegate who twice now has lost a bunch of her chest feathers, ending up with these yellow looking ones. The first time, her white feathers came back only for her to lose them again. She’s only 3 months old. Is this normal, should I be concerned? Thank you!- DuckandChickenMom
