Pink feathers on chickens?

[hortusgirlii]

I have a hatchery chicken that has pink feathers on its throat, wondering if they could of been dyed. She is still pink at 7 weeks old.

That is probably dyed, maybe it's done in a way that it will look cool when they are an adult.
Maybe it means its pullet? Idk

Hi and a belated welcome!
I've gotten chicks from our local feed store that were dyed pink or blue before. The color didn't go away until they molted. That's probably what that is.
What hatchery did it come from?

Welcome to BYC ! If you don't mind me asking . What hatchery did you get them from ? Looks dyed to me . When it molts you most likely not be pink anymore .
