Both Marmite and Flame have white heads at the moment because of the amount of pins they have.
Marmite’s head is white with pins
A white head
Flame’s head is also all pins
One side of Flame’s neck is also a mass of pins
Flame’s neck seems to be moulting one side at a time. These two girls are having a messy moult. This is often referred to as an ugly moult but my girls could never be ugly therefore I prefer to call it a messy moult!
It will be so good to see these two girls back to normal. I am picking up much less feathers though so I think we may be through the worse of it.

They’ll both soon be looking pristine again xx
They will. Then it will be a surprise that they looked so shabby. xx
With all them pins showing, they will soon be back to their lovely selves.
They will. They are growing in fairly quickly.
