The girls are all coming through the moult although I am still picking up some feathers each day. I have noticed that their feather colours change slightly with each moult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spangle is the most changed of all but the other girls have subtly changed. Spangle started out with a brown (spangled) pattern on her back and the brown feathers have disappeared with each moult until now they are almost completely gone. She has gone from lots of brown to almost just white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar has gone the other way. Sugar was mostly plain white and has gradually got more colour. It started as very faint and fine and now she has delicate salmon coloured feathers throughout especially on her neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that Salmon’s colouring is paler than it used to be. Smoke had gradually developed white feathers on her head and now has dark, almost black, patches behind her wings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow doesn’t seem to have changed although I think that she may possibly have more grey and Flame hasn’t changed but her tail hasn’t fully grown in at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spot is also dropping small feathers but still has her stained wing and tail feathers. We won’t be able to see her true colour for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is interesting seeing the changes in the girls feathers. I think they have all grown more beautiful as they have matured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
