She has black speckling too. More likely an uneven blue. My blue mottled hen has the samething.

@nicalandia, I forgot to ask you a question.
What's your thoughts on the split feathers? She has solid, & more split coming in.

All I will say is this: Your Coop is full of Mysteries..!!

It's a literal half black/Dark blue and half lighter blue feather. Lemme see if I have a picture saved already of it

My blue girl has a bunch of those. My white Ameraucana also has a singular feather on her wing that is half black. I though she'd lose it in her molt but it came back the same way.

True.
Only if I could segregate this pattern.

Oh yaym I hope hers stays. I think it's just neat how straight down the shaft it is

I... never said she wasn't a blue? I just said that the feathers looked like the one my blue has

I know, I was just stating your bird is just uneven in color.

My human aggressive, Buff Orpington cockerel seems to have the gene I need for the experiment, but I'm gonna have to sacrifice using him due to the fact I have to many boys right now, plus I don't need him passing down human aggression.

I did forget one thing about Dino's brother, Butters.
He had random pigmentless spots in his plumage when he was young, from about 6 months to a year of age. Then at year 3, or 4, he started getting more white plumage. Not sure if I have pictures of this on my newish phone, or not, I think I kept some of his feathers, which I will have to check.
