Ivan 'the lone jungle fowl' has developed a green tint on his tail feathers. The green only shows up in some light like an oily residue colour (color). Could this be a hint of a male?
Say it isn't so! He (she) is eight weeks this coming saturday and we only have this one chicken, if its a boy...

We heated little Ivan up and he came alive, does he live with us or return to the safari park is dependant on whether it is a roo or hen. Any guesses would be welcomed.
Here are the pictures;
