Weird Black Feathers growing on hen that never was black?

[Ldeal]

So we have had Nugget for almost 2 years now and she is just a Blonde Polish Game Hen Cross. This is her 2nd molt with us and i noticed after this one there are a couple feathers on her neck that are blondeish red, which is normal, that the root to almost halfway up the feather is black?!?!?!?!?! I did notice she does have a dry spot where the feathers didnt grow and thats right next to where the half black ones are grown.

Here is a pic of her.


I will try to get a pic tomorrow of the black feather and the dry spot.

I think that's probably nothing to worry about, sometimes after a molt chickens can have a little different coloring on them. I have a Cinnamon queen that had an all white tail feather set, then one feather fell out and grew back black! I think she's okay
