Piet,
Is the Splash recognized anywhere?

Andy,
Can't wait to see the progress on your Silvers also!

Not in Holland nor Germany. Simply because "there is not one splash alike" We also call them "dirty white", but off course they are technically pure blue. Piet

Makes sense, maybe that is why I like them, each is so different, but so alike!

This is a splash blue cream light brown Dutch Bantam I raised (yes, he is on the kitchen counter), love this guy and so sad I cannot show him. I used him over cream light brown hens to make all blue cream light brown and got some nice ones for show. That is a good cross for a non pattern bird, but on the Barnevelder its a much more frustrating game. Piet

Wow, look at his comb! He looks like he is well taken care of. See there is just something so pretty about a splash.

PS Love your counter tops

I am not a big fan of Splash but he is adorable!

Very pretty splash my daughter is very upset that I didn't keep any splashes this year ( she claims the " white" ones as her own". My husband would probably divorce me if I let a chicken in the kitchen on granite counter tops, LOL. You must have a very understanding wife Trisha

My husband would probably shoot me.

My son also claims the splashes. He has a splash Olive egger to keep him happy right now.

My dog lets the chickens in sometimes when I am not home. I had one in the sink. There was a plumber over fixing a pipe outside and we looked up to see my buff orpington sitting in the window. He asked if I let my chickens in, I told him my dog does. I don't think he believed me.

Now that is funny! How in the world do they do that?
