What Color is this Pullet?

[FrankPrize]

I was at a farm store buying some poultry feed today and there were about 15 Buff Columbian D’Uccles— I’m assuming they were some hobby breeder’s culls but I’m currently considering driving by tomorrow & buying a trio. What caught my attention more was this little Rosecomb pullet that I just *had* to have. I know she’s purebred but I don’t know what variety she is. I’d greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what color variety she is. Her body from the shoulders down is blue with good lacing and her her hackles are red. Her earlobes and her rosecomb are just coming in. Her legs are a really dark slate—almost black.

I’m thinking that she’s either a Lemon Blue, a Blue Red, or possibly a Blue Brassy Back? I don’t know really, I have a hard time identifying color varieties—especially in gamey chickens.

Thank you! I was wondering, do you know what a proper feather-legged bird of the Buff Columbian variety should look like? I know how the body should look like but should the feathers on their legs be black, buff, a combination of the two, or black-laced buff?

This lady draws the pictures for the APA standard. This should be based on the draft standard for them.

Oh wow, that picture’s amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Is there a link to any information accompanying this picture? Thank you so much.

Wow! A lemon blue!! I’m VERY jealous of you at this moment! She is quite beautiful! I’ve been trying to breed LBs for a while, but they never survive!

Aww, that’s unfortunate but I know that it’s quite common for some showline birds to never reach adulthood. You just need to repeat until you get something that sticks. Thank you!

I can't blame you, I don't think I would have been able to leave without her either! She's beautiful!
