Blue.
Well, in chickens it looks more gray but is blue none-the-less. I am looking for the best blue in my flock and always looking to improve. I'd like to get a discussion going concerning perfection, genetics and anything else related to blue chickens, any breed, any mix. I'll be posting more photos as we get going but here are a couple to start.
What is perfect blue? Light blue? Dark blue? Medium...
Here are a few examples from my birds
#1. Mixed breed pullet with gypsy face, she is shown in different positions to get an over all view of her color.
Is she a perfect blue color?
#2. Blue wheaten ameraucana
#3. Young blue ameraucana cockerel
#4. Young pullet BC marans X blue ameraucana
Same pullet several weeks ago:
#5 Almost black but is blue, chick
Another question, thought: In poultry of mixed colors, such as blue wheaten, do the other colors enhance blue?
