Thank you so much !!Cicero,
The kg weights seem right. I am in the US, and my cock birds are 8 lbs plus and the hens are around 6 lbs.
The black and white matting will not work. The only way to make a splash is a blue and blue matting that will give you 50% blue, 25% black babies and 25% splash babies.
A splash bird has 2 blue genes.
A blue bird has 1 blue gene and 1 black gene.
A black bird has 2 black genes.
A blue bird is actually a diluted black bird.
