I don't believe it is diet or hybrid related. As AquaEyes pointed out if it was diet related it should be occurring in other birds and it is not. Is it the "turning white" that has happened with other colors? Maybe. To my knowledge no one has yet figured out the cause of it.
With each molt the white feathers have become more numerous. The original poster of this thread mentions just the neck and chest having white feathers in his hen. Which as you can see in the photos that is where our hen began getting the white feathers. Also you can see some of the feathers at the roots look normal color but turn white, they all don't seem to start out as white.
This year however she has wing feathers that came in totally white.
I am stumped, and wondering how much white she is going to get.
