Does nyjer seed have a shell like the sunflower seed?

Short answer: Yes, the seed hulls are similar as they are both "asters".Nyjer and sunflower seeds are popular bird attractors at the winter feeding station. Both seeds have an edible oil, though it is the sunflower that became a production crop in the U.S. Actually "niger" or "nyjer" (Guizotia abyssinica) is a close relative of the sunflower, as they are both from the Asteraceae (Aster) family (nyjer not a thistle -that was a marketing ploy by birdseed producers, believe it or not!). The Aster family has a specialized fruit covering called a "cypsela". If you look at the nyjer seed very closely with a magnifying glass, you can see how similar it is to the sunflower, especially the black oil sunflower seed.
