  1. Chickens, like any living beings, can exhibit natural variation in their appearance. It's possible that the markings and change in color are simply a result of genetic factors or individual variation within the breed.The color of a chicken's feathers can change after molting. During the molting process, old feathers are shed and new ones grow in their place. The new feathers may have different coloration or markings compared to the previous ones.The environment in which a chicken lives can also influence its appearance. Exposure to sunlight, diet, and other environmental factors can affect feather coloration and markings. In some cases, changes in feather color or markings can be a sign of underlying health issues. It's important to monitor your hen's overall health and behavior to ensure there are no other symptoms of illness or distress
  2. In green cheek conures, certain color mutations like cinnamon, opaline (yellowside), and cinnamon-opaline (pineapple) are s**-linked. This means that if a male carries these mutations, all the females that inherit the gene will visually display the mutation, while the males will be split for it.Turquoise is a par-blue mutation in parrots and is recessive, meaning either sex can be split for the gene. In this case, both males and females can carry the mutation without visually displaying it.
