Thank you. I've been trying to do research about this coloring but can't find a whole lot. I did read to NOT breed blue with them. I think that confuses a lot of people because of the word blue in the coloring name. Could you breed a buff with him or no? It's next to impossible to find a blue...

This has not been the best month regarding my chickens!
First I went through an illness with them at the beginning of the month. Thankfully they have all recovered and did not lose any to that.
