Hi all a few weeks or so ago i posted something about my first hens chest feathers falling out. Which turned out to be normal. But something odd has happened her feathers have been growning back a blue colour. And since the bird was pure white (not albino) i am not sure what is going on. Now i know the bird is at lest 12 months so that is not the problem. what does this mean??

Is she a white Double Factor Spangle, if so she probably had suffusion and that is coming out more, The suffusion can be grey or blue in white birds.

Have you got a photo that will give us more idea.

Yes is a double factor. Now one thing if she is paired to a normal skyblue as she is and they have chicks could this blue suffusion change the outcome of the chicks?

NO......because she is DF spangle and he is blue ALL your chicks will be blue spangles.
