Adding the blue will be a long process, as all the blues will be solid and just split MF. If you breed them back to MF you should get some blue MF, but you'll also get some missing genes so some will just be blue mottle with leakage and things like that ie a big mess. Would be interesting but you're looking at a lot of generations to get back to where you want. May be a fun project though. I think little red's tail angle in that photo is mostly because I have literally just taken her off her broody nest and dumped her on the grass- she is telling me she hates me for being mean, you can see her hackle feathers are raised too. Looking back at other photos though she does have quite a high tail angle. It's a fine line isn't it to get a lady with a good bustle but not squirrel tail.
