This is my young blue, she has just enough colour on her chest to call her a hen although I did think earlier that might be the case, due to the softer look around the eyes.

She will be a nice looking hen when she moults out but
she will problably breed late.

It wasn't the first one, unfortunately the first blue I bred died, same parents, same aviary, previous clutch, I was beyond devastated!
But onwards and upwards, I expected some setbacks when I decided to take on the blue mutation.
