Description
Minor blue gamefowl are the blue feathered American family widely attributed to the old Minor yards of the South, and the striking slate blue plumage still defines the line today. Many birds in this family also carry the blue legged gamefowl trait that collectors ask for by name, making a well marked male one of the most recognizable heritage roosters you can put in a yard.
The shimmering blue feather, proud posture, and energetic personality make this rooster the centerpiece of any flock, but color genetics are the real draw for breeders. Blue does not breed uniformly, so a program built on quality blue stock needs birds selected over generations, which is exactly what you get buying from an NPIP certified rooster farm that keeps its own line rather than assembling birds for resale.
Minor blue gamefowl color and type
Because blue feathering varies bird to bird, we photograph the exact rooster you are buying before it ships. For blue lines specifically, a mature rooster lets you judge the finished blue shade before you buy, while a stag costs less and adapts quickly but arrives with his adult color still developing. The line facts are below.

What you receive
Every order ships with photos of the actual bird, NPIP paperwork, individual morning dispatch boxing, USPS Express delivery, and a live arrival guarantee. Stags, pullets, pairs, and trios are available above. At home, house one male per pen with his own hens, shelter, and room to move; separate housing for males from game lines is standard practice, not a special requirement. For a warm feathered counterpart to the blue, many buyers add a Penny Harold Brown, or you can weigh every line in our heritage rooster collection before deciding.
