im not sure on the green sheen.. I've noticed it to show up about the same time for both sexes, And roosters aren't always the top of the pecking order.. But i've always noticed cockerels to be the top about 60-70% of the time.. At least in all the flocks etc i've had.

he's too young to have pointy/sickle feathers yet, he's only 1.5 months old.. Pointy feathers come in at about 4-5 at the same time that the redness in the comb/wattles does.
Reason why i say he's a rooster is because i've been around australorps, Along with many other black breeds...
