Bruiser Grows up!

 

You may have seen Bruiser's Photo Album, but this special page explains the changes in his feathers and colouring as he has grown up.

Marge (also a boy!) is developing the same colourings but is a few days behind Bruiser for some reason!

Week 1

This is Bruiser on day 4.

His yellowy duckling fluff led us to suspect that he would have unusual colouring as an adult.

Week 4

By day 26, Bruiser had brown juvenile feathers with only a few special black, white and grey feathers  to hint at his handsome colours to come!
