I have 1.2 yearling Burlington Co., NJ Easterns . The male was the first one I got december or so and his crossbars already looked grayish sort of how some look as they get older. Ive noticed most Easterns start off real bright and clean and can develope some graying or a dirty wash in their crossbars. My observation is this the males graying on his crossbars is almost gone and now he is turning bone white. Weird ??? Its like he is going in reverse. The other female I have thats his sister is the same way but she is smaller and has more gray on her crossbars abd she just shed and she is looking like she is fading into white as well. Anybody seen that in an Eastern before ?
