Blue barred chickens!

Right. So I hatched out some eggs, turns out the mother was one of my white leghorn and the dad was unfortunately a barred pekin roo. The chick hatched to be blue and I think my white leghorn has a hidden gene for blue birds. So here's the question. Can I see any of your blue barred birds mine might look like?

Yep! It is! Unfortunately the others will hatch Monday. That chick was early because it was sat on by a hen 3 days before putting it into the incubator.

Aw. He is a beautiful looking bird! I hope mine would be a hen so I could keep it for eggs and maybe a sitter.

Yeah I was hoping Blue would be a girl too... You should continue to update as it gets older so that we can see what it ends up looking like!
