Cute! Could the blue be used to eventually replace the black on the speckled sussex to make a Blue Speckled Sussex? If so, that would be a pretty combo.

Either would be pretty, wouldn't it? Blue Speckled Sussex or Speckled Orpington. Is there a Jubilee Orpington?

 

[justuschickens59]

Yes there are Jubilee Orps - not here, of course.

And the Jubilee/Diamond Jubilee Orpingtons are GORGEOUS!

Their beautiful Julie. Hoss's name is very appropriate. And love the color on your Charlie girl who needs a name. Almost an electric Blue. Very cool!
