    can't tell them apart from any other blue at this point. Once I move them out of the breeding pen and into gen pop, they grow up and blend in.

    someone, I think it was ChampionSumatra asked for a pic of my Blue laying Sumatra hen and her egg. I call her "Lil Blue" As she is tiny, blue and lays a blue egg. She is 6 years old now. Still an egg laying and egg hiding fool. She is very feral and camera shy so I got these through the living...

    I'm honestly not sure what it exactly means other than it is happening. Even though I'm told by the "educators" that it isn't

    the books I am refering to were written well before color photagraphy was invented. So I can only go by what they write, not what they looked like by pictures I pee standing up. I'm a rooster not a hen Every time I put my opinion or my results from my flock out in this thread I'm...

    I don't have troubles with any one who breeds. I take issue with being told what happens with MY flock is impossible. When I see it time and time again. Yes it isn't high school. Although many of the responses by "educators" were very high schoolish You the man it should not.

    Raph, yes, why are my results, that I document for myself in question? It is my flock. I have worked this flock for 5 plus years now. I know MY flock. really???? We are going to discuss a 5% difference? I'm sure there is a margin of error that I am in. A few times I have brought this...

    FINALLY a thinker. Or my thoughts are these colors were in the wild because in the wilds of Sumatra they bred with OTHER jungle fowl. The attached literature mentions OTHER colors besides black in the wild. Americans sat down and decided that black was best. Then show breeder tried their best to...

    I get more gold/silver leaking than red. Still way fewer than blues and blacks.

    what I have is a strain that the blue has not been purposely bred out of.

    I have one like him but even better. Except for now as he is moulting. I have another young red head who I think will look even better yet. I get a few a year as red naturally occurs in Sumatra's. Even though SOP say not, it does. Good looking boy you have there.

    that is just passion from my end. I am passionate about my birds and can only report on the results of my flock. Passion kicks in when I'm told I'm wrong about my own experiences with my own flock. I'm the outcast here. I don't and will never show. I think most of you do or want to. To each...

    It does answer it. Blues were present in the 1850's. It is a naturally occuring color in Sumatra's. As is red. It is in the initial writings. Yet SOP says black. Why? Because a couple of elitist guys sat around a table looking at caged chickens and decided what was best in a breed. Black won out...

    historical records show blues since Sumatra's were found in 1850. Those records tell of MANY different colors in the wild. A few Americans decided way back when that only blacks were std. Which is why I won't show. I see you guys going back and forth on what judges want. Which in most cases has...

    I'm pretty sure that is more rare than hens teeth. I can't even begin to imagine why anyone would want all blacks anyway.
