What does a blue hen chicken look like?

There's no chicken breed called "blue hen." The term "Blue Hen" actually refers to the state bird of Delaware.

While the origin of the name isn't perfectly clear, it is thought to have come from a story about a Delaware soldier who brought his pet hen, which was blue in color, into battle during the Revolutionary War. The hen supposedly hatched chicks during the fighting, symbolizing courage and tenacity.

Therefore, a "Blue Hen" doesn't describe a specific chicken breed, but rather a symbol representing a type of spirit and resilience.

To be clear, there are many chicken breeds with blue or bluish feathers:

* Blue Ameraucana: Known for their distinctive muffs and beard of feathers and lay blue-shelled eggs.

* Blue Wyandotte: Have a striking blue plumage with black lacing.

* Blue Andalusian: Elegant breed with a beautiful blue-grey plumage.

* Blue Orpington: A gentle breed with soft, blue-grey feathers.

If you're looking for a chicken with blue feathers, these are just a few examples. However, if you're specifically looking for a chicken representative of the "Blue Hen" spirit, any breed with courage and tenacity would fit the bill!
