Lemon Blue Splash Cochin

[tripleee]

Hello! I have just recently got some lemon blue splash bantam cochin eggs and have them popped in the incubator yesterday. I am beyond excited for these eggs but I think I might have a silly question. From what I understand of Blue/Black/Splash you obviously will default to black or blue if the chick isn't splash. But with the lemon blues.... will the chicks just be lemon blue and lemon blue splash? Or is there a third option they can produce in theory?

Brown red is undiluted lemon blue. Lemon bluexlemon blue gives you 25 percent brown red, 50 percent lemon blue, 25 percent lemon splash.

Lemon Blue Splash are Bl/Bl, Lemon Blues are Bl/bl and bl+/bl+ are just Dark Brown..! Blue will dilute the gold tone and splash even more so.

Thank you both so much! Do either of you by chance have a picture of the dark browns?
