Can EE hens have iridescent green feathers?

[festivefeet]

I have a 9 week old chick that has green iridescent feathers coming in on the tail, neck and wing feathers. I wondered if this is only a rooster trait or if EE hens can have this too?

Thanks.

All of my black (Araucana crossed) EE have green iridescense in their feathers when they are in the sunshine. Males and females.

My black araucana hens look green in the sunshine. It can be on either gender.
