Do Hens have pretty blue tail feathers???

[busybratgirl]

We picked up baby chicks about 10-11 weeks ago. They are healthy happy little poopers. I thought they were all hens. Chickmunk..my baby, has been sporting some lovely blue tail feathers. I had chickens as a little girl. I do not remember any of the girls having this. So i am thinking Rooster??




This is Brandi...I am thinking Roo on this one as well.

Yup thats a rooster also tell by the crown starting to grow

Thanks. I can have Roosters so its not a huge deal. What do you think about Brandi..Barred rock

 

[imogene08]

Hmmm it may be to because of the crown

Brandi also has some bluish butt feathers. more of a sheen then solid but her siblings do not have any coloring or crowns.

I would also like to know about the blue-ish butt feathers. One of my 13 week old barred rocks is starting to get a shiny blue tinting.
