Feather color changing!

[Chicken poppy]

So i have a rooster with gorgeous bright green sheen tail feathers, and he’s a perfect rooster! Show quality and all. But there’s a problem. His feathers are turning to a brown sheen on some parts. A bit purple to, but it just developed like this!
A brown sheen I have never seen before until now! Any thoughts? Is this permanent or any hopes of it changing?

I mean, first of all, I don’t know what breed he is. Can I see a picture?

Oh, sorry! He is a Japanese bantam rooster. Here he is!

I think the sheen is a bit strange, don’t you?

I don’t know the cause of the brown feathering. Maybe he had a rough day while growing those feathers? Sometimes feather color can be influenced by the environment, even in just one day. He doesn’t have the short, stocky, tall-tailed look of a Japanese.

It’s normal for different chickens to have different shades of iridescence, it doesn’t look like actual brown feathering to me.

I thought it was iridescence at first but I noticed brown on top of one of the feathers and in the top right. Unless that is just the camera being weirdo.

Thank you! Yes, none of them do except my adult. They are younger so aren’t fully developed and I believe he doesn’t have the long legged gene like my adult does (thus causing his legs to be quite tall.)
But that could definitely be the cause of it, i have no idea. Its like a rainbow on his tail!

I think it was just the camera, by one of the green feathers you can see it looks yellowish. It is more obvious if its bright out but it was a bit dim when i took the photo.

Ok, so if that brown is just the camera, look at RRAs post. The bronzy color is just normal iridescence.

I know purple sheen is frowned upon but also read its feed related poor feed equals purple sheen
