Have you ever seen this? One Colored Feather on White Pullet

[Lauryn229]

Greta is an all white EE or Americauna. She is 4 months old. Another chicken pulled one of her wing feathers out at 2 months old and it bled a little. Recently I noticed one feather grew in near the same area and it is half brown. At first I thought it was dirt, but it is actually dyed. I am assuming it is blood that got into the feather root when it started growing. It is also exactly half of the feather- only one side is colored. Pretty amazing.

Does anyone else have experience with this?

Here are pictures

I bet when she molts it will come back the same as now.
color leakage.. a fault if you are showing, common in solid colored birds

Many such a feather has been plucked prior to a show.
