Disadvantages of raising white feathered chickens?

[ISSOLA]

Ms~Silkie~Girl :

I have white rocks, and if there is a fight or i have to put blu-kote on one of them, then...well.. they are either bluish purple, or red, also they do get dirty sometimes also

Blu kote on white feathers....

Does it finally wash away????​

I always wondered how my white chicken stays so white and clean looking , especially after dust bathing. She gets really dirty, then then next day she's white as can be again. Just like white cats, they groom themselves, and mine are always nice and white.
