well . . . I'm assuming you are being facetious.
I did find the calculator, but am having trouble following the steps. I had an accident two years ago and my brain isn't what it used to be . . . at least now I can drive and remember my kids names; but this is just a bit beyond me, that's why I was asking for help. I'm sure it works great and is just operator errorsssss

No offence, I meant that there are a lot of "Blue" topics in this section of the board. So if my calculator is mentioned "more" than these topics that it must be a succes...

The calculator is not that simple. I understand that after a lot of comments I got. It being german, not english, etcetera.

I had to look up facetious, never heard that before...

so if your breeding black to splash you get all blue.
And am I understanding correctly, that it doesn't matter which is the roo or the hen, black or splash?

Katy, Henk wouldn't have meant anything unkind by the comment, more that he was glad you had found his chicken calculator before finding a thread on blue colour.
Lots of people find the chicken calculator intimidating until they explore a bit & find it's easier to use than it, initially, appears. Click around a bit, you'll see.

I am sorry to hear about your accident; how horrid for you & your family. Hope you'll be fully recovered soon.

I sell chicks in the spring and wanted to add the blue color . . . So the black roo over the splash hens does it . . .
would the splash roo over the black hens give all blue too?

ya it doesnt matter who is wat color just you need a splash bird over a black bird

Blue X blue will give 25% splash, 50% blue and 25% black.
