I've got a question. I have 2 BS hens split to white and I am getting a BS male split to white. Will the chicks be BS Or white or will I have 50-50?

25% will be white, and 75% will be BS.

That looks really nice! Good job!!

It's been real hot here in Idaho. At least for me it has (I'm one of those unfortunate people to get heat headaches). We've had some rain this week which cooled things off to the 70's & 80's but apparently it's going to be back in the 90's and possibly some 100's this week.

Thanks it is a work in progress.
Rain and then sun means a hot muggy mess, which messes with my sinuses and it makes my ears hurt off and on , on rare occasions i get a headache but hot wet washcloths help with that most of the time.

I did not know you all got into the 100's over there also.

These are all pics of my black shouldered boys. Their tails are the same as an India Blue, only the shoulder and wing feathers are different.

Thats right i was wrong

Although what Pedda said above is correct phenotypically, when we speak of genetics we should really speak genotype, not phenotype. The correct answer seems to me to be: 25% white blackshoulder, 50% BS split white and 25% BS. If you breed those white appearing birds to an IB BS you will get BS birds. In my way of thinking we have gotten to lax.

Got in trouble selling a white cameo as a "white" bird. Will not make this type of mistake again, intentionally anyway.
