can anyone tell me if you have a black chicken with a blue/green shine on feathers in the sunlight does that mean it is a cockerel, or can hens have the same.

thank you, i read on a forum that the blue green shine will indicate a cockerel, but i would put my money on mine being a hen, thank you.Hens and roosters can have a greenish shine. It often shows on black feathers regardless of the sex of the bird. The shape of the feathers can indicate male or female after the chicken is around 4 months old.
