Hi all. I was wondering if you could tell me what my hen's coloration is. I tried to get a variety of shots cause it seems like her blue color changes depending upon what angle your looking from. She's finally molting and has a few patches of vibrant blue near her tail and I've also noticed that she's developing an iris ring but they're still very dark.. I'm going to hazard a guess that she's a sky blue and there seems to be no body color on her neck or back or wings. I'm not sure what to make of her wing color patterns. They seem to be lightening in color and have a greyish brown color to them. Is she cinnamon? Her flight feathers are all white as well. Thanks.

Hi There Yes she is cinnamonwing and appears to be a clearflighted pied i think she is sky violet or cobalt in colour it's hard to tell in one shot she looks sky but in the others she looks darker. The cinnamonwing also dilutes the colour to an extent
