Cadence, 91/BA

I already compared it to last year before I posted. Take a look at your post from March 17, 2018 and compare it with mine today. To me, the patch looks significantly darker now. It could be the plucked feathers, or perhaps the angle of the sun. Sometimes slightly brighter sun, as this is, brings out more contrast.

I'm not sure what to tell you patsy - I'm not an expert on feathers or molts so maybe someone else has a better idea.  I know they can look very different depending on the time of day and lighting and temperature, etc.   I do remember around the time of my March 17th photo her feathers looked short or missing from that area but now they seem to be growing in.  What happened to cause that I have no idea.  I haven't seen any signs of trouble but our view is limited on the cams so who knows what goes on out of sight.  I do think she looks good and healthy and hope she stays that way.

They are the same peachy color as Beauty has on her chest.  I don't think it's blood stains at all, it's peach colored to me and I watched her quite intensely the other night to double check as I saw some of the comments about it.  She has some feathers missing there which may be why they are more visible but I have seen her plucking feathers from that area.

Scroll down on this page and see photos from last year of her peach feathers and compare the colors?

I agree with you Carly-no issues here, just feather color like the Beautyful one!

Allen waits to see his egg! So curious!!

Betty Ann says the egg was laid at 7.46 am so I was gone longer than 2 minutes!

YAY for Cadence and Allen!

I was watching. She laid it at approximately 7:45 am. She pooped and twirled like her momma. Unlike B, she stands up and quickly pushes the egg out. It was 15-20 mins before she let us see the egg.
