Black + White = Blue?

[bigchicken2]

Does Black (not blue counterpart) + White (not splash) = Blue? It would be easier to breed blues if you could breed a black to a white and get blue. I think it does but I'm not sure.

No you cannot get Blue from mating black to white unless there was a slight chance that the White was recessive white and masking Blue or Splash, otherwise, its not possible.

Nooooo. You need a blue or a splash to make more blue.

Hope you do not mind my adding to your post.........
It is in line with a question I have .
I have a beautiful delaware hen.was with Astrolrp, SLW,and our old but unidentified beautiful rooster...........could be a copper black maran
She hatched a really pretty solid blue chick.5 weeks old now.
Makes me crazy trying to figure it out who's the daddy.
Thanks

The father I think would be the Black Copper Maran (he would have to have Blue in his background)...
