[CHICKENS-101] Re: chickens breeds

 

I don't think her eyes are blue?  But what I do not get is this, How come she looks like a he why do they have all these colors?  I thought females were plain janes So anyway.  Does anybody know what they are really?  The father is a Golden Laced Wyandotte  The boy chicks  end up like this with a couple baby blue flight feathers and some small amount of baby blue on their other feathers. But no where do I see any pictures of females that have shinny feathers or color like that. And the color is more of a aqua on the girls but on the boys it's full baby blue which can't be seen in this picture. So far I have 5 girls that look like her, and two boys like the one below.  What is odd is that the boys feathers don't come in till about 3 months old.  on the upper shoulders.

 

This is him as a baby, why would it take so long for these feathers to come in? Each one of these "blue" males for some reason, don't feather in like the others at all.

Here you can see the baby blue on his flight feathers.
