One thing I look for as an indicator in pullets\' propensity to retain decent tail and wing color in their second and subsequent years is to take a look at the undercolor on their backs. A lot of good slate/gray undercolor in that area tends to indicate the propensity to retain good color in the tail and wings in later years.
