My buff Orpington pullet started growing in these weird feathers today. The are currently only growing in her tail and around her vent, but I am wondering if the will spread. Does anyone know what cross she would be? I got her from a feed store so I have no idea what her parents look like. She is 11 weeks old Wednesday.

My hatchery quality buff orpington has similar looking tail feathers to yours. This is likely because the hatcheries breeding for feed stores are focused on producing chickens for egg/meat production rather than selecting for breed standards.
