Hello I have been researching on which way I want to go with my flock.
So this is my question.

A Slash to splash = splash
A splash to blk = blues
A blue to black = 50/50 mix blue/ blk
blue to blue= splash/ blue

Not 100% sure is this right?

Does it matter which is the roo and which is the hen for coloring?

Blue to blue can yield blue, black or splash. Does not matter which is the rooster and hen.

Blue x Blue = 25% Black (without the blue gene) 50% Blue 25% splash

Black x Blue = 50% Black 50% Blue

Black x Splash = 100% Blue

Blue x Splash = 50% Blue 50% Splash

Splash x Splash = 100% Splash

Here is a photo of some of mine
