Yep quite normal. Some hens ceres never seem to go brown although they will still breed. With animals it's general rules but not every animal will follow every general rule exactly. If she otherwise looks to be in good condition and is happily being chatted up by the boys then try her in a cabinet and you'll probably find that she breeds okay anyway. You could also ensure that your birds are getting enough iodine to stimulate their pituitary glands for breeding.

ah okay thank you

Well in the cage were i have her setup with a male for breeding the male is really quiet and shes always on the side of the cage where the Australian male budgies are chirping about, and well i think I'm have to get her a new male that's more chirpy and that has intrest in her, because the curent male he feeds her occasionally but never trys to mount her they've been set up for 3 weeks now, do you suggest me getting her a diff male?

I wouldn't put too much stock on seeing them mate. They can be shifty little fella's!

 

Seems that at least she is attracted to the more vibrant males - a good sign. A more lively male is always a good thing no matter what hen you are using.
