Do Hens have pretty blue tail feathers???

busybratgirl · Jun 21, 2013

We picked up baby chicks about 10-11 weeks ago. They are healthy happy little poopers. I thought they were all hens. Chickmunk..my baby, has been sporting some lovely blue tail feathers. I had chickens as a little girl. I do not remember any of the girls having this. So i am thinking Rooster??

This is Brandi...I am thinking Roo on this one as well.

Thanks. I can have Roosters so its not a huge deal. What do you think about Brandi..Barred rock

Hmmm it may be to because of the crown

Brandi also has some bluish butt feathers. more of a sheen then solid but her siblings do not have any coloring or crowns.

I would also like to know about the blue-ish butt feathers. One of my 13 week old barred rocks is starting to get a shiny blue tinting.
