It's from a book from 1854, so yes I believe they are referencing chocolate brown (dun), and the dun variety was stated to be a mixture of black and white, i.e. what we now call blue. That cockerel is stunning by the way.

Interesting.

Thanks.
 
I just went through this thread and didn't realize it was old lol. I would like to say that the Ideal Kraienkoeppes had absolutely the worst manfighters I've ever seen in ANY breed, but that was 6 or 7 years ago I had them. Not sure if they've improved that trait or not.
