Is my rooster a cross breed?

I have a 3 1/2 month old Dominique cockerel, but I’ve been noticing some differences in his plumage. On over half of his black and white feathers, he has a little bit of tint (greenish purple) kinda like an Australorp. Does a Dominique’s coloration have tints in it? I also have seen that their beaks are yellow, but his is mostly black.

He looks purebred. He's hatchery stock? They aren't always correct.

Purebred

That is standard plumage for a Dominique cock

Yeah, g

That is standard plumage for a Dominique cock

oh, I wasn’t sure about the feathers. I guess they just have a tint?

He looks like a handsome purebred Dominique to me

All black on any feather on any bird of any gender will sheen. This is perfectly normal, regarding the structural behavior of black feathers.

Looks like a perfectly normal Dominique cockerel to me.
