This is my thought too @micstrachan that there's a bit of silkie or other different feathered type in her.Could she have just a bit of silkie in her? Otherwise, I'm completely stumped Hope it is nothing to worry about!

Letter a looks just like your Bernie! What about the base of it, this is very interesting. Yes I thought they are supposed to be very short.A bit of research reveals that birds have a type of feather called a filoplume. All the pictures look identical to what Bernie has.
They act like cats whiskers - ie a strong sensory function - things like wind speed etc.
The only problem is they are supposed to be very short whereas Bernie's are very long.
I think I might post these on a thread to see if any BYC folk have experience.
Here is a diagram showing a filoplume feather.
Can everyone have a look and see if their chickens have them too?

OMG she’s like a shark leaping out of the water!It is mugshot Monday and here is Diana nibbling at left over potato roll in my hand. Look at her spikey hair-do with new feathers coming in on her head.
She is such a sweet little hen. I like to see that she is eating. She is always so dainty though truth to tell she is really a bit of a piglet.

Bernadette stepped in to show her how it is done - there is nothing dainty about Big-Bernie!
