Thats what I meant. Poultry color names can be so confusing, the standard calls it chocolate but it is really dun.

Which would be okay if there weren't also a gene named choc

Maybe we should all get together and rename all the various varieties?

 

[flyingmonkeypoop]

I agree. Kinda like the whole confusion of lavender/self blue and blue.

What does "dun" mean exactly in english? It resembles the dutch "verdunning" which means dilution, but I believe it is named after the one who discovered it. But in which species? It is used in horses, pigeons etcetera.

Does this chick look khaki? To my mind it does, but not sure. It's certainly not blue.

 

[flyingmonkeypoop]

Here in the US dun is a color of brown found in horses, well atleast I am pretty sure because dun horses have been around longer than dun chickens.

Sooran, your chick does look more khaki or even a nice, soft light dun color. Did you breed for that color or did it pop out unexpectedly?

Oh, i just noticed in your signature line that you are working on them. Do you mind me asking what breed you introduced to get them?
