Green Jungle Fowl feathers

Recently I have been reading up on Green jungle fowl. A lot of sites say that the short iridescent green feathers on its neck are actually overlapping scales. Does this mean a scale pattern or that these are hard scales like on a reptile?

The term "scale" was likely used to describe the feathers. It does not mean that the scales are hard like on a reptile.

I second the above post. The feathers probably just look like scales.

Many of their fancy looks are dominant, the F1s show it on their hackle. Its a shame that these features have not being introduced in main standard lines
