As far as 'rare' colors go, it depends upon the breed of chicken. While 'blue' might be rare in one breed, it may be very common in another. You can look up the club for the breed of chicken you have and it will tell you about all the colors, wether rare or not, that that breed comes in.

Lavander is probably one of the rarest in the US.

I never understood why they call greyish chickens blue?!?!?! It's not blue at all, but grey. Blue is my favorite color, so if there were truely blue chickens without dyeing, I'd be REALLY eager to get em.

Skeeredchicken...in all animals, the color grey is considered "blue". I have an all grey cat who is purebred and he's called a Blue Russian.

For the same reason they call purple flowers "blue". Because they are either color blind, or they are really really WISHING they were blue, so they would be more valuable! LOL!​
