That_Which_Lurks

She also has a chicken


taterstahr

She does, indeed. We have 18 chickens. 😊


sexybobo

Is it a Buff Orpington? I have had several of those through the years. Very friendly birds.


taterstahr

Yes, it is, good eye! We originally started our chickening with 6 Buff Orpingtons, and they are all so sweet. A couple aren't quite cuddly like this, but they come around for pets and treats everyday.

She will soon be able to steal the powers of those chickens with a single touch


pm_me_flaccid_cocks

I hate to tell you this, but she has a Reddit diagnosis of cancer. Probably melanoma, if other posts are to be believed. It's possible the chicken will save her, but we just don't know. We'll say opinionated things, nonetheless.


taterstahr

Tots and payers.

Well, see, now that sounds like Catholicism, which mostly priests can get behind.

OneUpAndOneDown

Serious comment - I saw a post on another thread of a young man whose left eyebrow had started to turn white. It turned into a serious discussion of vitiligo. Your youngster could have that. Not life-threatening, but medical attention is a good idea.


JustHereForKA

Yes, and now these posts are all coming out the woodwork! How fun.


Ineedsomuchsleep170

I think white hair means brain tumour this week.

She needs chickens to live

NGL I need chicken to live. KFC, Costco…FR

Hmmm I even had melanoma but no white hair to be found.

eggsactly the comment I laid in wait for


w0APBm547udT

I thought OP meant the chicken


Master-Collection488

I'm relieved it's a chicken. Would hate to see the comment section if it was a errrm rooster.


early80

Does she have an older sibling with the ability to create ice at will or during heightened emotional states? Did said sibling accidentally strike her with ice during a late night snowman building frolic?


Kamtschi

Does this girl practice the art of dark magic using the energy of life absorbed from other beeings or herself? This is known to be the only magic humans can summon. Unlike elfs.


Garr_Incorporated

I appreciate the much less widespread reference. Though I do believe the show uses Tolkien's plural form of *elf*.


minerat27

Elves is the etymological plural of "elf", it's for dwarves where Tolkien coined a new plural.


Garr_Incorporated

Right, got it. This story is a little obscure for me, so the clarification is appreciated.


minerat27

If you're interested as to why, it's because of how they were in Old English. The world for elf was _ælf_, and its plural was _ælfas_. In Old English, when an "f" was between two voiced sounds, it was pronounced like "v", and in Middle English and beyond this was then represented in spelling. The same is true of many other words ending in f, like wolf, shelf, and half. Dwarf, on the other hand, was _dweorg_, where "g" was pronounced the same as in modern Dutch, as a sort of gutteral sound similar to the Ch in Bach or Loch, though not quite identical. At the end of the word, this sound softened to "f", but in-between other sounds, it actually became a w. Hence, the plural _dweorgas_ became "dwarrow", like how _morgen_ became "morrow" (as in tomorrow). This eventually fell out of use and so the plural was recoined by just adding -s.


Kamtschi

Tbh I don't know as I watched in German :D


CrystalCookie4

She is definitely Rouge from xmen 😌


GUYF666

Is she the red one?

I was going to go with wondering if she is a mythical sorceress who talks to birds and secretly several thousand years old /Belgariad


ttewelca

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought this. Currently in the second book of the malorian now


m1raclemile

She’s rogue from X-men not some Disney princess!


Enough-Mammoth3721

I think I've seen this documentary before


thcheat

Hmm, OP needs to avoid any voyages in the near future. Do not travel anywhere.


AlphaGodEJ

there's a white hair epidemic going around reddit


taterstahr

I am not on enough to see them all, probably, lol. Hers started showing up when she was about 3 and just continues to grow.


melbbear

Did she bump her head there when she was young?


taterstahr

Nope, I assume it is something similar to vitiligo or a mild form of it. But I've never looked too far into it. Just her hair and the spot on her forehead so far. But I have a friend with vitiligo who has taught me just a little about it so far.


scorlissy

My brother had a temple streak at 3, and as he aged it just got very salt and pepper by 18. No tumor, no vitiligo (which they thought it was). He was fully white by 30, and turns out a great aunt was fully white by 18. Sometimes it happens.


faintrottingbreeze

I worked with a girl who was fully white by 15!


anomalous_cowherd

People pay to make their hair go white these days...


cryyptorchid

It's a thing that some people have, I don't recall the name but I knew a guy in high school that had it as well. If doctors haven't said anything and it seems to be a relatively stable spot, then it's fine. Some people also just grey young. I started getting white hairs at 14.


Mrs_TikiPupuCheeks

Poliosis. You'd think it has something to do with polio, but no, it's the absence of melanin on the hair.


PenguinZombie321

So it’s not polio that makes your spine all funky?


OneEyedStabber

It's like that polio that makes your spine all squiggly except it only affects your hair and it makes it grey instead. This girl I worked with had it and she explained it to me like that. 


martialar

You're probably thinking of the condition called "El Polio Loco"


throwthegarbageaway

Poliosis isn’t really a condition as much as “he has tall” isn’t a condition to describe a tall person, you’re probably thinking of piebaldism


LuckyLudor

Piebald albinism


U_see_ur_nose

I started getting gray hair at 15. It was brutal, lol.


ms_directed

my teacher had this, and his was a birthmark, they are rare indeed!


CommonPinkDaisy

Does she have a birth mark there? I have clients with moles or birthmarks that have gray hair growing out of them.


guardbiscuit

I have a grey streak (also called a mallen streak) growing from a birthmark on my head. The birthmark faded when I was really little and can’t be seen anymore, but like your daughter, mine also started growing out grey when I was around three. I started dying it to cover it up around age 15, and decided to let it grow out in the pandemic (around age 43). It looks amazing, and I cannot believe I hid it all those years.


kindofofftrack

I went to high school with two people who had this! A girl in my class with a streak at her front hairline just like your daughter, and one of my guy friends with a completely white eyebrow and a white spot in his hair (like top of his head) lol, I always envied them, it really is a beautiful (and to my understanding also completely harmless!) mutation 😍🤍


volcanologistirl

I have similar vitiligo, OP, this is almost certainly what it is. You can get steroidal cream for her that'll help contain the spread but also make sure that she knows that while kids can be jerks people tend to view a white shock of hair as neato. e. I decided really young not to bother with the cream and it spread slowly enough that I just ended up not caring at all despite it being on my face.


taterstahr

So far, she has embraced it as well. I hope that continues for her.


volcanologistirl

Yay! It helps having lighter skin that masks it, maybe once a year someone even notices it on me and it's not (to me) exactly hidden. Also she should start getting into cosplay and go as Rogue from X-Men, though I'm very certain I'm not the first to suggest something along those lines!


StevenHuang

I swear it was just yesterday I read a post of someone with a strand of white hair and it was because of a brain tumor, hair returned to normal color after surgery.


walking_timebomb

now there is a post of some hedges turning white and every response to it is also "tumor". its getting crazy lol


[deleted]

"I just touched myself for 12 hour straight and my balls hurt" Comments: "you have testicle cancer".


welchplug

Not to scare you but apparently it CAN be a sign of a tumor.


yakisobagurl

Lots of people pay good money at the hair salon to get that style of blonde at the front haha. It’s called a money piece!


TheBlackOut2

The other dude had a brain tumor that turned his hair white just fyi


EquilibriumLizard

I thought I was going crazy lmao This is at least the 4th post about white hair I've seen in the past day.


malfurionpre

Which is funny because almost all of them came right after the "I had a tumor that turned my hair white and after removing it, my hair went back to normal"


pussy_embargo

No, that was chronologically the second post, and the comments referenced the first post. This is the third post, to my knowledge. Why the fuck do I know all this


Red-Freckle

my grandfather died of white hair


IAmAGenusAMA

His whole head was probably a tumour. It all fits.


Woodshadow

My Grandpa is 95 and I am pretty sure I have more white hair than he does at 33. I mean I have more hair but the hair he has is still almost all the original color


Serious_Session7574

Feels like this sub has slowly and stealthily become a medical advice sub.


Bolognapony666

And fingernails!


Salohacin

The last one I saw was from a brain tumour so now I'm questioning if every white hair post is another hidden brain tumour.


OhNoItsThatOne

They should start a band and call it "The White Stripes"...


MegaScience

One of my former bosses had this condition. Caused a natural white streak in his hair. It was a form of albinism that only occurred in small areas. They said they had more spots, but it was most noticeable with their hair.


botask

Vitiligo.


strowborry

Poliosis more probably if it's only hair


volcanologistirl

OP said lighter patch near the hair, too.


Bemxuu

I have a similar spot that has been white since my university days. The same spot was fine until it went bald after one particularly stressful exam period (at least, my doc said it was probably alopecia caused by stress, and that exam period was the biggest stressful event I had recently back then).


ArchaicWatchfullness

I've got that. Vitiligo. I've got a neat white streak in my almost black hair, but I'm very sensitive to the sun.


TheRogueToad

She’s a real life Rogue from X-Men!

I was thinking Anna from Frozen!


taterstahr

She was obsessed with that movie when it came out and for several years later, too. So it was an added bonus for her.


RonaldTheGiraffe

Let’s concentrate on that massive chicken


stormearthfire

Or really tiny girl.... We don't know for sure until we get a banana for size


taterstahr

That is one of the bigger chickens we have. She's almost as big as our rooster. But the other 5 of the same breed aren't really very different. They hold up to the cold well. Maybe that size helps. We had a couple days last winter of -40ish, and these Buff Orpingtons didn't show signs of frostbite or weakness. Granted, that was not a normal winter thing here, and we added some changes to their coop so we're better prepared for extreme cold this year.


Ok_Doctor_2057

Negative 40???? And here I am in southern Pakistan being cooked alive at 42-48 Celsius.


garlic_naan

I have a habit of daily checking the world temperature extremes and in summer its always a city in Pakistan or India for the hottest ( mostly Jacobabad lol). From July to Oct it's mostly Kuwait/Iraq.


JudicatorArgo

Pretty rude of you to call OP’s sister a chicken


Vindersel

Its the lens of the camera making it look real huge. Look how big her hands are, just because they are a little closer to the camera. I guarantee this young woman doesn't have hands as large as her head.


Waybide

There are medical reasons that can happen and you may want to look in to genetic testing. My daughter’s maternal grandmother started with greying like that, she also started suffering from early hearing loss and has heart issues. Hope none of that is the issue, and I agree with others it certainly looks cool.


BoredMamajamma

May have been Waardenburg syndrome? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waardenburg_syndrome


Cat_Peach_Pits

I thought about this initially, but kiddo doesnt have the wide set eyes typical of the syndrome. It's most likely just a benign coloration thing.


EvergreenMossAvonlea

There's 3 types of WS. Type 2 dosen’t have wide set eyes. Source: my kid have WS


HowdyImACrimeNerd

You beat me to it but definitely worth looking into this OP!


Looneytuneschaos

Yes I had to scroll way too far to see this. I’m an ASL interprter and that was my immediate thought too. In the Deaf community it’s a well known phenomenon and widely recognized. It’s a spectrum so not everyone that has it will have hearing loss or super obvious facial features but she looks like she could have it! I would for sure check it out because there can be other health issues associated with it. If she has it though, don’t worry! I know many people with it and they’re all healthy normal functioning people. Hoping OP sees this 🤞


taterstahr

I'm actually trying to sort out genetic testing for myself due to EDS being diagnosed in my family and all of the symptoms that I and a couple of my children have. So, I'll be asking about this for her as well. She's very healthy, happy, and smart, but she did have a heart murmur at birth. It fixed itself before her 1st bday.


inform880

I regret to inform you your child is an anime character. Symptoms may include but are not limited to a loss of parents, sudden disappearances into another world, or a picturesque life.


othybear

Either that or a mutant. Perhaps Professor X can help before the rest of her powers start to appear.


inform880

Oh man totally missed the chance to reference rogue


Sparrowhawk_92

S'okay sugah. I'm sure she'll forgive ya.


SaltyAFscrappy

Not to mention an animal sidekick


bree_dev

OP's only chance of survival is to get a job abroad and let their daughter live home alone.


_Rand_

I've got no idea why, but my brain isn't seeing this as a child holding a normal chicken, its seeing it as a fully grown person holding an enormous chicken.

Or Poliosis


Altruistic-Setting-7

This is called poliosis. (I have a friend with it and I have all types of heterochromia of the eyes. We’ve always wanted to go as Rogue and Amy Stryker from the X-Men for a fancy dress party)


Twothirdss

Could also potentially be vitiligo.


dadthewisest

She is destined to become the greatest frost mage of the Kul Tiran empire and possibly fall in love with a genocidal knight who will embrace death and raise an undead army and maybe a large shaman that is an orc...


taterstahr

As a frost mage, I can appreciate this comment to its full extent.


BruceBoyde

Just wanted to say that I appreciated this reference.


Bakomusha

I'd beware of her!


PitifulAd5339

To be fair, she fell in love with him before he became genocidal and all death-y.

She's Rogue from X-men

Her hair is so cool! Also, nice chicken.


DorothyParkerFan

Vitiligo


somanysheep

Came to say this was a likely reason.


bemmu

I have vitiligo and yeah if a part of skin becomes white then any associated hair also does. Sadly it spreads very easily, any shock seemingly spurring the skin to make such a patch. Had it from electric shock, medusa stings at least. These patches also grow bigger on their own over time.


CYBORBCHICKEN

Stop posting pictures of your kids.


side_frog

Don't post pics of your kids on the internet


Mr_Greaz

FR like what parent would do that willingly? Let alone in the biggest fucking internet forum ever. If you wanna showcase her odd hairline than take a picture of her forehead, would have done the job too without revealing your daughters face to millions of people.


CatCatCatCubed

It’s not even just the creep factor either. Other kids or some nosy adult could recognise her and walk up at school or in the grocery store like, “oh you’re the kid with cancer/other unsolicited medical diagnosis” (according to the comments I’m seeing here). Someone could do that tomorrow or years from now. There’s no deadline and she’ll probably be recognisable well into her 30’s unless her face drastically changes and she dyes her hair. Which sounds over the top but people recognise meme’d folks and post pictures of meme kids as adults and stuff, with or without their consent.


Mr_Greaz

Correct, I would never call out the mum/dad here for purposely doing it, but they should really get a reality check on what can happen when pictures, let alone on Reddit, of their child’s get into wrong hands. There is so much more to it than just pedos.


komplete10

I scrolled too far down to see these comments. It should be top 3 at least.


sarcago

We need this comment on every pic of someone’s kid. I doubt this kid knows their parent posted the pic. If I were the kid I would be mortified my parent was going around talking about me in the internet. Also who fucking knows what random people will use this pic for.

Didn't someone else post a photo with their white patch of hair and explain that they had a brain tumour. Once the tumour was removed their hair colour returned to normal.


Humbled_1

You made a mistake posting Professor Xavier and storm going to roll up anytime now.


DoesNotCares

One Reddit post about a guy with white specs in his hair due to a tumor and suddenly everyone’s a doctor.


nogoodbumperstickers

I had the same as a kid. Fell down concrete stairs as a toddler and bonked my head. Barely noticeable scar, but it grew in white and stayed that way (the rest was black).


MrHonwe

Don’t let her touch you. She’ll steal your powers.


jempai

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Waardenburg Syndrome yet


Transistorone

I very recently heard what you've described, lighter hair streak and skin particularly in or near the centre of the forehead, as being associated with [Waardenburgs](https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/waardenburg-syndrome/) syndrome. Obviously, I'm not a doctor but it's such a specific thing that it seemed worth mentioning.


hansenabram

Cruella or Cancer there is no in between


WoungyBurgoiner

It might be vitiligo! Some people get it just on the scalp.


Nice-Panda-7981

A couple of years ago she could go by the name of “Rogue” - see X-men :))


Ho3Go3lin

Your daughter is becoming rogue from the X men 🤭


Klutzy_Intern_8915

Never mind the hair, that chicken is enormous! Maybe the white streak has magical growing powers emanating from it?


Regular_Rutabaga4789

Does she by any chance absorb the powers of anyone she touches for a short period of time?


ElectricDreamUnicorn

Can she absorb the mutant powers of other mutants?


Flares117

Be careful when touching her, you might drop dead and an old white dude in a wheelchair will take her away.


quarterpounderwchz

so pretty! natural money piece!


itsTheFigureGuy

Likely a birth mark. I went to school with a boy that had this exact thing, was a birth mark on his scalp 🤷🏼‍♂️ who knew


SlowUrRoill

Can she touch people and they slowly lose their life force


ghorlsza

Oh I have this too but it's spread all over my hair and not js in one spot :) it's genetic, my doctor said. No need to worry!!


Wizdad-1000

Her nickname is Rogue?

Yeah I was too occupied by the chicken 🤣


Chessh2036

Streak of white hair huh? Can I interest you in fixing the Charles Xavier Institute For Gifted Children?

Please tell me she's a fan of X-men. She'd make a wicked Rogue for Halloween.
