The reason why I stated that is because I would like to see them going with someone who wants to actually breed them, to help to get the bloodlines and color going. You can't do that with someone who only wants the pullets for just the eggs for eating, and doesn't want a rooster. If someone already had the Black Australorps the Blue Australorp pullet could be bred with the Black Australorp rooster, and the Blue Australorp Cockerel could breed with their Black Australorp hens. Now, do you see what I am saying?
Also, by breeding the blues to the blacks, it helps to improve the feather lacing on the future blue chicks.
