Blue X Blue does not give 100% Blues
Actually this is the way their matings go:
Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black , 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue , 50% Splash
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Black X Black = 100% Black
Splash X Black = 100% Blue
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash
Only way to hypothetically get 100% Blue, is to do Black X Splash.

I did my test twice - once with 1/2 c. salt & 1/2 c. water - the next time with 1/2 c. salt & 1/4 c. water - same results both times. I placed the mixture in a mug and then put the mug and hygrometer into a ziploc bag.

Found my Dr. Les handbook and it recommends Tylan 50 or Tylan 200 - which he says works best as an injectable but can also be given orally with slower results. He indicates there is also a water soluble Tylan 50. For Tylan 50, Peter Brown recommends 1/2 cc for standard and 1/4 cc for very small bantams.
Dr. Les prefers LS-50 or Lincomycin-Spectinomycin (generic) for Chronic Respiratory Disease - when the chickens have the swollen heads, lots of mucus and sneezing. They are both water soluble and are mixed 1 tsp to one gallon of water and treat for a full 4 days after all symptoms are gone.
Self Blue does breed true though.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lavendar is based on the lav gene. It is a true breeding form of Blue called Self Blue, and is absent of lacing. When breeding lavendar you breed Lavendar to Lavendar you get 100% lavendar chicks. Many breeders cross Lavendar with Black, all resulting offspring are black, then breed those offspring back to each other to get back to lavendar. lavendar is often associated with poor feather width, and poor feather quality thus the occasional cross to balck to improve those traits.
Blue is whole different story.
Blue is a incomplete dominant mutation of Black. It takes two copies of genes to create most colors along with other determing factors but with blue for instance the natural form in a recessive state bl results in black when two copies are present, the mutation incompletly dominant Bl results in a splash when two copies are present and when the two are combined as Bl / bl you get Blue.
So to think of it this way when breeding Blue
bl/bl = Black
Bl/bl = Blue
Bl / Bl = Splash
This form of blue is laced with a darker shade of blue. One should breed for an even shade of blue. You will get your best color by breeding Blue to Blue and be able to maintain proper lacing and a more uniform color through out the birds body in this manner.
when Breeding Black x Splash all teh resulting offspring will be blue in color however will vary widely in color quality and are often un-even in color and begin to loose lacing as this created by the presence of other genes you cannot see when using Black and Splash.

Test the hygrometer's http://exoticpets.about.com/od/herpresources/ss/hygrometer.htm
Mine is digital. You put it in a large zip bag with a cup containing 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of water (making sure they are not touching) for 12 hours. Then you see what it says the humidity is. It SHOULD say 75%. If it is off one way or the other you know how much to adjust for the reading in the incubator. For instance, if it says 70% in the bag, remember to add 5% to the reading when it's in the incubator.
another:
Place Morton Canning salt (a few tablespoons worth) in a small mug, glass, or container and mix in some distilled water. Make sure you do not dissolve the salt. The desired result should be a “sludgy”, “gooey”, semi-solid mixture.
Place this mixture inside a zip lock bag (I prefer sliding lock to ensure complete closure) with your hygrometer inside. Make sure the hygrometer is facing up (so you can read it) and that no water or mixture comes in contact with the meter (this will throw off readings). Now seal this zip lock bag with an even larger bag to ensure that no additional air may enter in.
