Let the buff leghorns and Minorca stay too!
I just got a bunch of Ms and am trying to make my own leghorns.....

But it’s yellow! It’s gold as a coin! Like sunshine on daisies faces, or dandelions, or daffadowndillies!
(Fun fact, gold Columbian Brahmas and white laced gold Polish aren’t even technically buff but some jokester thought it looked buff (because it is indeed the buff color) so now we have a nominal disaster IMO)

The richest, most even concentration of phaeomelanin on a fowl!

Well, I suppose we all have that thing.
Personally, lavender fowl and fowl with leakage make me want to bleach my eyes, and lavenders with that awful yellow leakage increase my agony tenfold.
And lavender fowl labeled “self-blue.” Makes me sick

and calicos

Anyone else have a color they can’t stand???
@Overo Mare where’s your piece on lavenders used to scrub sidewalks?

I love the color lavender.... but hate those raggedy old dust mop looking things from the shredding gene. I don’t *hate* things being labeled self blie but it does make me flinch a bit. Also yeah, lavender with leakage just- nope.


I love me a good calico though.

The worst thing is “self-blue” is an acceptable term for lavender, but it causes so much confusion. WHY NOT JUST CALL IT LAVENDER???? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT
*hyperventilates*

I'm not a fan of the white Colombian pattern. Or silver laced/gold laced anythibg. Too clashy
