The blue article does touch upon blue in animals, including poultry. There really isn't any article just about what poultry standards mean by certain colors. I think it's a little too specific in scope for an article. Basically, blue is an even slate gray color with a bluish cast to it. VanTucky17:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
