White spot.

I have been slack this season, no boxes etc etc, just dried bush. Have plenty of gould chicks but one has a small white feather on on its head. I have seen references to similar in other posts. Does this mean anything?

Possibly an Aussie yellow carrier/split.

You have your favourite choice of mutation Ken
Now you will have to get rid of that batch of gouldians and start a fresh again.
But in saying that it might not be anything just a white feather or the beginning of a pied.

It could just be an innocent white feather.

Which is why I said possibly. Don;t chuck the baby out yet with it's whole family. Wait and watch. If the feather is still there after the moult you almost certainly have Aussie yellow blood. This is a beautiful pied mutation, hence the birds that are yellow and those that only have a feather or toe that is white or yellow.
