Blue Sumatras?!?!?! How pretty! Is this an APA recognised color, or something someone is working on?

Hi Sue yes they are real pretty
and they breed like other Blue poultry
You get Black , Blue, and can get splash
The Splash is not Recognized
The Black is and the Blue is Recognized
so Hope to hatch some nice ones and maybe show them

we will need to see some pics!

I will for sure take Pics as soon as I get them and they settle in a bit


Sumatra's are one of the breeds Closest to wild of many of the modern breeds so they can be flighty but they calm down with alot of handling and once calm they make great show birds. Until then they scream like crazy if you pick them up

Wanted to add here is a good write up about them at ALBC
