    Blue or something else?

    What colour is this chick? Ive never seen one this colour. It looks blue but not quite. It was from bought in eggs from a breeder trying to breed mauve and blue dun. Its maybe slightly lighter in real life and there isnt such a strong contrast, it's more of a uniform colour
