Is there such thing as a Blue Birchen?

[TK Poultry]

I'm just curious? I've searched and searched but can't find any conclusive! Can someone tell me.

I'm assuming you could. Take a gold or silver birchen and have the blue replace the black. In which case a gold birchen + blue would become lemon blue.

Pamperedpoultry used to have some OEGB blue birchen, don't know if she still does. Also known as silver blues.

could you do this with cochins....I'm only asking because

1. I'm new to birchen
2. I'm getting a pair of birchen cochins soon and I was just curious

I got this boy here... he's split between silver and gold, I can get blue birchen hens off him next season.

Sorry to hijack, But nzpouter what colour hens will you use with him, to get Blue Birchen?

 

[nzpouter]

birchen or brown red, will give you blue birchen pullet... preferably birchen cause then you can also breed blue birchen rooster.
