Bluebelles are hybrids Luke, so if you cross a bluebelle with a bluebelle you will get all sorts!

The cockerels are usually dispatched at hatching so there shouldn't be any cockerels around and if anyone sells you one like I know someone who sells Bluebelles as trios, that's wrong of them.

As to what is best looking, I like the Bluevbelles and Speckeldy's but they all have their own personalities, no matter what colour they are

I think you will find that we all are a bit addicted to our own hens so you wont get the reply you want on here lol. I love my birds not because they are cute which they are but because of their attitudes and personalities. However if you are looking to show them you need to look a bit further.

Many hopes in your chicken hunting

There's actually a picture of a Bluebell cockerel on Ebay under "hatching eggs". The Ebay item number is 310243114190 - just enter this number in the search facility and it will pick it up straight away. A very fetching cockerel!

he is very striking, however any that hatch may not look anything like a bluebell they may turn out to look like the original breeds used. Unless these people have managed to start breeding them true.
Staffies are softer than you think.

A bluebell is a cross between a copper blue Marans and a Rhode Island Red.

A second generation cross between two bluebells would result in a hotch potch of characteristics of marans and RIRs.

Bluebelle is also a tradename like Black Rock, and I doubt the hatchery would actually allow hatching eggs onto the market ("breeders" will buy their stock in as day-olds)
