Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

Back in June.....breeding of Blue Columbian male over Columbian hens Here is a progeny and the question I asked was.
What color are they going to be? And here is the answer... drum roll please
4 Columbian pullets and 4 Blue columbian pullets, I am absolutely thrilled with 3 Columbian cockerels and 4 Blue columbian cockerels, all showing some slight degree of silver around hackle and tail cover, some more the others, as Kathy correctly predicted,
but should be able to choose a future Columbian for next year breeding, on the right one of each :) and last, the one which shall remain nameless, since it doesn't even remotely resemble ANY recognized color :)
"The Dark One"

Beautiful colours!

YAY! Beautiful birds. I particularly love that last one!

He could be yours Jan!

They turned out amazing!!! Striking birds. The blue columbians are real beauties-remind me of poofier coronation sussex!!!

The Coronation Sussex are Lavender, so even the hackle is lavender/self-blue, the Blue Columbians have black hackle so bit more vivid in color which I like.
