This is an less popular color. Together with self black and self blue, they belong to the oldest breeds of self ins.

In the past, the people near Ghent called them 'heavens-blue'. The color need to be clear, intensive blue over the full body. The neck and globe are a bit darker and contain green gloss. They eyes are in tricolor with grey eyeborders.The beak and nails are dark grey.The tail ends with a dark blue bar.

Because they are very rare, you don't find much breeders anymore at the moment. Their level is moderate.
