2nd question/ What color is this sizzle?

[janieschicks]

This one is straight feathered. It is a mixture of light gray and dark gray? What is this color called?

 

[ChooksChick]

Lovely splash!

 

[janieschicks]

Cool, a splash! You can look at pictures all day but it really comes together when you see them in person. I was calling he/she a mottled gray?

 

[ChooksChick]

Yes- the blue gene does wacky things and when you see it finally, it is lovely isn't it?

 

[janieschicks]

So far that is my very favorite color! Do you know how they breed to get that color?

 

[ChooksChick]

Yes, it's just to take either 2 splashes or 2 blues or a blue and a splash. If you breed Splash to Splash it's always Splash, but the ratio is much smaller if you breed Blue to Blue or Blue to Splash.

Here's a great thread to explain why- look at post #3.
