White/grey hairs growing on hens head

[dottie15]

Hello,

This is Annie. She’s anywhere between 1.5-2 years old. I noticed the top of her head is growing white/silver hairs. She was molting a few months ago but has been growing them back. She eats, drinks and poops normal. She also perches, forages and roams around normal. Any idea why she’d be growing these hairs? Thanks in advance!

They look like pinfeathers still in their sheaths to me.

Yep, they are just new feathers growing in.

Those are the sheaths of her new feathers growing in, she’ll scratch them off eventually.
Pretty girl, what is she?

I’m not sure. I adopted her from a feed store and they didn’t have much information. Any guesses?

I was wondering if she was a Black Copper Marans as I just got one
