Blue has always been my favorite color in chickens. I'd had Blue Orpingtons, Blue Ameraucanas, Blue Plymouth Rocks and of course, the Blue Partridge Brahmas. And one tiny little blue Cochin goofball whose sire is actually a Buff Cochin and mother a splash. I do like lavender, too, though. Have had one lavender bantam Cochin hen. Such a beautiful bunch of colors!
