Is there such a thing as...

A BLUE barred bird? I got four bantam Cochins yesterday and purposely choose the black one with the spot on its head, going for a pullet for my barred cockrel. The other one, I couldn't leave there in case it was a girl, but she looks much lighter than the black of most barred birds.
Are my eyes going? Will she darken as she gets her barred feathers?
With the grey fuzz make any difference at all?

It’s possible. Here’s a pic of a blue cuckoo Cochin.

I doubt that would come from Hoover or Townline. Both supply my TSC and both are a bit limited in bantam selection. Of course I got a buff laced sebright last year at TSC and neither hatchet lists them either. Hopeful, but realistic is the way I'll go.
