I dont know anything about genetics but would love to see your birds mes.

...and I clearly have a LOT to learn.

This isn't the best picture but it shows the rooster in question's coloration.

Love that color! My splashes are never that "patterned" more like a pen broke haha

Is his chest clear or patterned ? What do the females of his line look like ?

His chest is patterned. Is his coloring a fault and should I stop his reproducing now?

Got a picture showing his chest ? Any idea how his female relatives are colored/patterned ?

I'll take a better one of him this evening and update. I was told by breeder that females do not have the red nor do other roosters. They are primarily white with black (his color with no red - as SD Bird Lady described "like a pen broke"). He was my only splash egg to hatch. I'm making myself crazy reading about red pyles vs splash. This bird should carry two blue genes, right?

He does but I don't have a good pic of it. They are just starting to grow back, along with his tail feathers. He belonged to my SIL and she ended up with too many roos so I took 5 of them off her hands. I think they had been picking at each other pretty bad, but are filling out nicely again.

He does look like a dark brahma
