The Blue-Red Leghorn

The blue red is nothing more than a blue version of black breasted red{ in our case brown leghorn}   

Blue redXblue red will give 25% black breasted red , 50% blue red  and 25% assorted splashes whose males resemble red pyles, The preferred breeding procedure is to mate blue redXblack breasted red which throws 50%of each parental  colour. Blue reds  may be bred  in any shade of red but bantam standard calls for the golden red in the hackle and saddle of the male. White {splash} birds from a blue red and blue duckwing mating will resemble piles; these may be used in a future mating to obtain a lighter shade of blue ground colour if desired.
