Blue feather question

[Purple House]

Hi All

I've got BBS Ameraucanas, the blue and splash birds' feathers are starting to fade to brown from the sun. Does this also happen in Lavender colored chickens, most specifically Ameraucanas?

I love the blue color but I'm not as happy now that they're turning brownish. The girl in my avatar is starting to go brown on the edges, the pic was taken about 2 months ago before it started happening. She's a Welsummer x Ameraucana cross.

New to this color, so I'm curious... Thanks!

Any feather color will fade after time if exposed to full sun frequently... when they molt, the new feathers will come in clean and fresh... but unless you keep them in a covered in full shade 24/7, fading will happen regardless of color, variety or breed...
