My baby is going on 5 months. I read this is a fault sometimes with female ekkies, and am wondering if he is missing an integral vitamin or mineral in his diet that he has half red, half yellow feathers :/

Thanks guys :)

Only way to know for sure is to get a blood panel done and/or wait for him to molt and see if the feathers come back like that.

Those are normal under the wing feathers on males. I have saved a few because they are definitely cool!
