Nice to meet you Marta. The folks on "what breed or gender is this." seem to know a lot about colors as well. You may want to post photos there and ask them.

Hi Marta and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

Hey everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Haha, Aart, are you from the Netherlands? Actually I didn't name her, but she is named after a Dutch actor Aart Startjes who just died. He is a man, but Aart sort of means earth as well, and we are not so gender oriented, so the woman that named her figured out was a good chicken name.

I live in the Netherlands by the way, and I'll update my profile accordingly.

I will also check in with the people in the "breed or gender" department about the colours. And leave an update here if I find out!

That was interesting. Now I want to know if Aart is Dutch.

Haha yeah I'm curious! Who were you named after Aart?

I got a reply about the colours. They are
Blue Gold Birchen, Silver Birchen and Partridge

Now I want to know if Aart is Dutch.

There are other explanations...but...
"Aart is one of the most artistic Dutch baby names. It is a short form of Arnold. Meaning ‘strong and powerful’ both Aart and Arnold are common in English and German speaking worlds. "

My screen name is just a mix of my initials.
