Will she molt out of these shredded feathers?

My little Dotrisha has 2 shredded wings. They're hard. They're pointy. They're not very pleasant to feel when holding her.

When she molts, will they grow back shredded still? I thought the shredder gene is based on blue genetics and 'fixed' by introducing black(?)
Curious how she has it while not being blue.

My Frizzle mix has flight feathers that have the same issue after some time. If they were feathered before then they will grow back to normal after she molts so there's no worries:)
 
She is under a year old and to my knowledge hasn't molted yet.
Hopefully they come back feathered when she molts!

Thank you!
You're welcome! Yeah if she's under a year old she probably hasn't had her first big molt yet so I'm sure they will grow back feathered when she does. She is a very pretty hen!
