It says right in the context that this bird was from their splash/blue pair. So if they've been breeding splash to blue and have been getting really lightly colored splashes how to you work on getting more markings if you're already working a blue?
Well the chicks usually ARE light when they hatch. Are they growing up and still staying very lightly marked? A breeder once told me that sometimes with splash, the markings will come in twice as nice after they go thru their first molt. Which is why it's sometimes hard to decide who to keep...
I'm wondering the same thing. I have a splash hen that is almost completely white. I need a good blue roo but I'm hoping one of my sizzle offspring eventually gives me a frizzled blue roo to pair with her...

How old is she? I had a blue pullet that I thought for sure was a roo because of the way her crest feathers were coming in but they ended up rounding out more instead of just having that "slicked back" look.
Hoping someone on this thread can tell me if this silkie is a black or blue...when it hatched I thought blue because it looked just like my other blue silkie chick, but it seems to have gotten a little darker so I'm thinking black? I'm going to be working with this one, a splash that I'm waiting...
