Silence Is Not Golden Here

My welsummer has pointed feathers not rounded like the rest of the hens. But, it's color pattern is of a hen and thought it was.

It lost this feather this morning while I was changing water and feed
The left feather is the welsummer and right one is jersey giant

This is what I found this morning. Looks like she has accepted them.
My BEST broody mama hen is a rose comb brown leghorn. She laid maybe 2 or 3 eggs when she was about 4-5 months old then went straight into broody mode and adopted 13 chicks. She raised and weaned those: Laid eggs for maybe 6 months then went broody again and hatched a batch of eggs on her own. She is priceless and fiercely protective of her babies in the flock, but doesn’t panick at all with me around them. I love that little hen.
