It would. Just not sure it'll happen with my set up. She was just a happy accident.

Yes, it would.
It might, if not with the first hatch, maybe with the second.

I get alot of happy accidents around here.

I have a green queen EE who had a singular corkscrew/spiral feather on her foot as a pullet. It fell off in my hand and I saved it but I don’t have any pictures. It never grew back either

Twisted feathers are just considered a flaw in showing, just an error in the growth. Not really a mutation. One of my hens has a curly feather on her back.
