Colouring my Chocobo...what am I doing wrong?

So fruit doesn't always change feathers even though it keeps saying wait 6 hours? Wtf

Takes 6 hours per change yeah - Also it can take quite a lot of fruit regardless if it says it begins growing new feathers etc. They made it pretty 'complex' to allow people to have multiple colors rather than the classic red/blue/yellow/green/dark blue/gold/white/black.
