Blue/Black/Splash percentages

[joletabey]

I am sorry to ask - I know this was posted a couple of months back, but I can't locate the info-

What are the color percentages in the offspring for
black x blue
blue x blue
black x splash
blue x splash
splash x splash
etc.

If you are breeding for blue specifically. . . .
Thanks for the help

Blue x Blue = 50% blue, 25% black, 25% splash
blue x Splash = 50% blue, 50% splash
blue x black = 50% blue, 50% black
splash x black = 100% blue
splash x splash = 100% splash
black x black = 100% black

Those may not hold precisely true for small samples of eggs. Most of the time, from my all blue Orp pen, I get mostly blues, then fewer blacks and the least splashes, however, once there were two blacks and one splash from three eggs under a broody once; another time, got two splashes and two blues, no blacks. If you incubated a hundred eggs, the percentages would be closer to the chart shown.

Thank you Katy, Poulets de Cajun and Speckledhen! - this is exactly what I was looking for, and Cyn, thanks for the info on small numbers- this will, due to acreage, be a small flock - but I gotta/wanna/ just MUST keep those Suede genes going!
