Black Star Question

[lkeech]

Not sure this is the correct forum for this question but is it normal for a black star pullet to have like a forest green sheen to them and have black combs??? They are really cool looking just a little strange.

Not sure about chickens but almost all black waterfowl have a green sheen to them.

 

[Fred's Hens]

Yes. Completely normal.

Any chicken with black feathers can have that irridescent sheen--green to purple--in the sunlight. You're all good, and as long as it's not barred with white stripes it's a girl.

How old is the hen? The black comb might turn red as the bird ages if she is still a pullet.

 

[ChickenPeep]

That's normal. I agree with popsicle.

Totally Normal. When they are younger than POL. they tend to have very dark colored comb.

Thanks guys we were just a little unsure they are very pretty that is for sure. No white on them I am sure they are all girls they are all black with red on their necks. They also are around 12 weeks old. These are our first chickens

Yes. Completely normal.
