Is This Blue Mille Fleur OEGB Chick Still Blue??

[Crazy for Chickens!]

I was just wondering if my Blue Mille Fleur OEGB chick is still blue. I ordered it from Ideal Poultry, and I've had a lot of blue chicks turn very dark before. I don't know if that's what they called blue, or if they were blacks. Anyway, this chick is quite dark, almost black, and i was just hoping it would still be a blue! Any thoughts?

That's self blue, not blue mille fluer

It's just blue.

That's self blue, not blue mille fluer

Hmmm. You know what, i bet i got out the wrong chick! I have two Lemon Blue's, and they were all running around, and I thought i got the dark one, that i was pretty sure was the blue mille, but apparently i grabbed the wrong one! I will take some pics of the other two in the morning. Does the blue mille have some sort of mark or color that i can tell it apart?

It's just blue.

Thank you, i think i grabbed the wrong chick! I have Lemon Blues, and they look quite similar.

You do still think it's blue in color, and not black?

Blue mille fluers are regular mf but the black is blue

Self Blue in OEGB is what they call Lavender in other breeds. That chick is not Self Blue. It does looks regular blue to me. I dunno about it being a Mille Fleue though one way or the other.

Still blue
Which is black with a dilute gene
