What’s this, please?

Good morning.
My 13 girls are now 16 weeks old.
One of my girls has had as long as I remember, what appears to be some dirty tail feathers?
I have never thought much of it, but now I’m wondering what it is, and nervous it could be mites?
None of the others have this, could it just a coloring thing?
Thanks!!!

Looks like a coloring of the feathers. Have you checked her for mites?

And can you please post a pic of her so we can see how pretty she is?

She has speckles, no big deal most of my girls have speckles at some stage in their life.
Mine are similar in color too, Faverolles so body and speckle color.
