Blue & Black BLRW hatching eggs - no splash if possible

[TheReidHomestead]

I have a small flock of BLRW, but they are all splash. I would love to get some eggs from someone who has a pen with only blue & black BLRW's in it so that I have a better chance of hatching out non-splash birds. Or if you can direct me to anybody you may know who has this type of set up, that would be great. Would also take chicks if you are local to me, I'm in Monroe, WA. Please let me know what you have in your pen, and whose lines your birds are from and your prices. I would be interested in getting eggs/chicks later in Feb.

Thank you!

With the blue gene there is no way anyone can keep Splash out.

If you breed blue to black, you will only have blue and black babies. I understand that blue to blue will give you a chance for splash. I'm just trying to minimize the chance for splash. Say someone had a black BLRW roo over blue BLRW hens, the offspring should only be blue and black.

I've read the Blue or Black over Splash will yield 50% splash quite a few times.
I'm also looking for Quality BLRW . . .so anyone with eggs, please email me, also

Andalusion blue gene:
black x black= 100% black
black x blue= 50% blue, 50% black
black x splash= 100% blue
blue x blue= 50% blue, 25% black, 25% splash
blue x splash= 50% blue, 50% splash
splash x splash= 100% splash

Anything more than going to splash for 2 generations will result in a white and red looking bird, take it back to blue to put the correct coloring back in. These are based off hatching 100 eggs, so if you do small batches the law of averages won't pan out until you hatch enough to catch up to it.
That being said, I have a splash roo over a blue hen. I'm currently growing out to build up my stock but could do a small order for you that would give you some splash. For blue x blue mating, try Sonew123 or LovinMyPeeps, I believe they have blue to blue matings. Also, where are you located, a state under your avatar is very helpful when you are buying or selling.

I have a all blue pen. But unfortunately they aren't back to laying since theioukt and the funky winter weather. This year I plan to set up a pen of black hens with a splash roo. Should yield 100% blues. I just haven't set them up yet. They are in a mixed flock right now.
