I didn't realize you had commented on this. Their coloring is a little off from my camera flash, but that is very cool! I can't believe how yellow they have been recently.

Abbey tends to get a yellow streak down her back--- it looks funny. Will have to google reason why
some on the internet say it is from oils:D

The yellow comes from an increase in their natural oils, which helps to stimulate new hair growth. They're losing their winter coats and their spring coats bring out their guard hairs. That's when we see more color and patterns.
I have read that some ferrents think the yellow is from the dye that is injected into chickens to make it look more palatable. Our Senior ferrents go with the natural oil explanation. If Heather, Katt or Jason say it's so, I go with their experience and of course, they're so darn smart. :bow:
