Yes, that is the percentages of the blue color you would get if you bred him to a blue hen, but since your roo is het. barred, half the offspring would be barred so you would actually get about 25% blue, 25% blue barred, 12.5% black, 12.5% black barred, 12.5% splash, 12.5% splash barred.
If you bred him with the Splash hens, would would get 25% each of Blue, Blue Barred, Splash, Spalsh barred ( you wouldn't be able to tell much differenc between the splash and splash barred though)
If you bred him to a Black Barred hen ( Barred Rock ) All of the male chicks would be 50% blue barred and 50% black barred, and the females would be about 25% each Blue, Blue Bar, black, Black bar ( All the roosters would be barred and half of the hens would be barred and half would be solid, again this is because your roo is het. Barred and not homo. Barred, if he was homo barred, he would produce all barred chicks, regardless of the color of hen he is bred to.
thanks i was wondering where the barring would come.so the barring would not be linked to just the males?
