So I was out playing with my 10 wk old chicks and I just found out that 2 of my young cockerel's tail's are turning Blue as they mature!(you have to look really close to tell it's there) I never expected this because I thought that for the blue gene to express itself it had to have a copy of blue from both parents?? Their father was a Buff Orpington and I only have 1 visibly blue EE hen. So I'm just confused how I got these blue chicks? Here are pictures of the cockerels and their tails.
