How do you get the mud (brown) out of your blues?

[iajewel]

Nope, I raised blues and showed them for years. Dog cleaned me out and now, years later Im starting over again. (less the neighbors dog) I know what sun fad looks like. Its lighter, what I see on your roo is bright shinny brown. Look towards the tail, on the saddle.

The birds Im talking about don't have that dark brown, but more a under coat of hard to see chocolate that yes.. in most cases could be sun fad, however these birds are in side and have been. So the birds Im talking about do not have sun fade.

I swear, I dont see any brown on him. Does anyone else see that? I may be going blind, but I just got new glasses.

If you look on the second set of pics the one of Suedes sire, before the tale. I thought it was like how Delawares get that cough cough "golden gene" (sun bleached)... I guess I'm just not used to pickyness, (no offence I just have chickies for the fun of it )

I do hope to get me a good silkie hen that's either lavender or blue though

This may help you see what Im looking at..

Honestly, I was not trying to be a smart alec; I really didnt see it. And even with it marked, it just looks like glare on the pic or brassiness from the sun to me. I'll take your word for it.

Camras do funny things in the light. You may not see it becuse you see him, not the photo everyday.. it could be just the sun and camra? it happens..

The pic you marked is my rooster's sire, not my rooster. You'd have to ask Julie about her Blue Boy, if he has what you're talking about.

I can see it as well, when I tilt my laptop monitor down.
