Dominant Copper pullets. Black or Green??

[MarkJr]

I was under the understanding that dominant coppers were black. Sometimes with feathered feet. My girls are green.

Are they Dominant Coppers??

The feathers are actually black not green. Most all black feathers regardless of breed will shine green and sometimes purple.

Did not know that. Thanks!!! I think it makes them better looking. I think I’ll keep them.

You should see my Black Sumatras out in the sunshine. They really look green.

All 6 of my Dominate Cooper pullets have a green sheen to their feathers. A couple have a white wing feather too. And a few random foot feathers.

I have dominant coppers as well. Some of them look just like your chickens...some have gold feathers on their necks, some have feathered feet...and one has a lot of grey/white feathers around his head and neck...her name is “granddad.”
