Amazing, Self Buff EEs...

Can you please explain what you mean by "Self Buff"? I'd like to know so I can understand why you think they are amazing.

Self buff is a term often used to indicate a bird that is entirely buff colored(no sign of black/blue pigment), because there are other "Buff" phenotype like Buff columbian,

Self Buff is one of my favorite phenotype, the birds on the pics will likely be almost self buff due to some blue leaking on the end of the tails.. beautiful nonetheless

12 weeks old and their tails are growing pretty.

Just updating because I found more blue on my cockerel's wings!! This is so cool! I have never seen any red/buff chicken turn to blue like this it's weird but awesome. Anyone know why genetically why my red cockerel's are only showing their blue now? and has anyone had this happen to their own birds?
