Bought as hen, but think this 5 month old may be a roo? *MORE PICS

Actually, it is not the color of the feathers but rather the size and shape of them. Many types of hens will have irridescent feathers. In this particular case the bird in question has sickle feathers growing in on the tail. Sickle feathers are the long, narrow, arching feathers that make up the big rooster tail we are all familiar with.
