No clue. I only have one hen with it, and I actually quite like it so I'm not focused on erasing it. But logic tells me that breeding her would probably help it stick around. I'm not sure if males can show it or not. Maybe @3KillerBs has encountered it with the australorps?

I think it's just some of the black bleeding through. Blue is Bb after all

Blue She couldn't be splash anyways with the silver Spitzhauben, but some blues have the black dots. I have an araucana like thar

I'm still trying to figure out my dun/khaki issues in my phoenixes. The closest I've seen in other breeds was a dun and blue, but there should be no blue in my phoenixes

Not that I'm aware of. My phoenix that have recessive white have no signs that I can see

For roughly half. The other half will still carry it unseen

Will chicks that have a dun gene and barring appear to be a type of blue with their down? I have a hen that I thought was dun, and half her chicks appear blue when they shouldn't have any blue genes

Ideal doesn't have booted bantams, so they must be D'uccle birds bred without any beard genes

If neither parent is frizzled, the chicks will not be

My phoenixes have a recessive white that shows up with scattered brown/black and orange feathers on the individuals. Lemme seenif I can find the article I go back to to explain it

I'd keep them in a few days I have a naked neck chick too that says the same thing

Araucana. Mixed coloring, but pure bred

Great. Her breed absolutely shouldn't have that gene.

Then why does it have a single comb?

Then this hen has to be the mother. This is the only blue bird in this flock. But there is absolutely no reason she should have a single comb gene. The dad has a single comb, but the mother absolutely should not. The other blue chick has the Pp comb that should have occurred in both.

Yall would consider this to be blue, right?

It would take a couple generations. But I think buff would be easier to breed out than duckwing, and definitely easier than white

I think brown would be better than white since the whites hide other genetics. Colors aren't my specialty though. Can you get red or buff?

Well, easiest way is just to buy black leghorns. If you can't get those, black Minocoras are what I would use to bring the black coloring in

A lot of the mosaics running around now are very dark. Mine are about a purple mulberry. There isn't much work to keep them rrue to the skin color they were supposed to have
