                                         Oregon Blue

                                    

 Oregon blues are basically a slate version of the Oregon gray, they have a white base plumage color with slate pigmentation about the edges of the feathers.  There is some slight barring in the wing feathers which appears as a mixing of slate and white without definition.

 At hatch, the Oregon blue poult has a yellow-slate gray down color with faint stripes on its head and back.
