Blue laced red wyandotte cockerels

[shaw613]

WOW thanks everyone. This coloring is a puzzle for sure to beginners .... I have two darker blue and two black hens. The pullet I bought these two fellas with is the same ... fairly odd that 3 of 3 were splash? They've sure grown fast in comparison to the delaware males that I got about the same time, too.

So now for another puzzle .... I have blue and black ameraucana pullets. What would I get (easter egger, I know) on those hens?

OR on australorp hens? Good layer, black?

With the blue ameraucana, you’d get half splash and half blue. Their coloring could vary from solid splash/blue to splash/blue with partial red lacing. They would have beards and likely have walnut combs. For the black ameraucana, all blue offspring. For the black australorp, the same amount or absence of leakage, again, all blue offspring.
Here’s a good, simple blue/black/splash chart. You’ll notice that blue x blue results in 50% blue offspring, 25% splash, and 25% black.
