Buff Orpington with black speckled tail feathers?

Markings like this? I dusted First Saturday Lime all over her tail and the coop although I don’t see any signs of mites.

It's common, some of my ladys have it to

I'm so glad this has been discussed and pictured here. I just noticed today that my 7 wk old buff has this same black feather coloration, and it freaked me a bit. I'm so glad to have the confirmation - clarifying peace of mind drives away naive imaginings
