That one says it's a Splash, which would explain the lighter fluff and not so blackish blueWhat does it say that Roo coloring is?

I'm not sure how reliable it is, but this is how it shows up on Google (which itself is hardly reliable)What does it say that Roo coloring is?
True story, just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true, lolI'm not sure how reliable it is, but this is how it shows up on Google (which itself is hardly reliable)
I try to avoid Google directly, and go straight to the links offered and read them, but I'm hoping it's right this time. That one, and mine, looks like a Splash that just took more Blue than the lighter greyish undertones a Splash usually hasTrue story, just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true, lol
So you think Blue (with leakage) rather than Splash? It doesn't really matter when you get down to it, I just have files for each of my birds and I try to keep them as accurate as possible.It is definitely a blue but with a lot of gold leakage. This is common in many blue varieties that aren’t developed. It isn’t really an issue since even without the rust he wouldn’t be a show quality bird.
Yes, it would be blue.So you think Blue (with leakage) rather than Splash? It doesn't really matter when you get down to it, I just have files for each of my birds and I try to keep them as accurate as possible.
Thank youYes, it would be blue.
Blue is an incomplete dominant gene to be blue your bird must have 1 blue gene and splash is when they have 2, lets say this is the blue gene B and this is black b, your blue is Bb and the black is bbI tried to look at his offspring for genetic explanation (I accidentally crossed him with a Black Mottled hen), because Blue x Black = Blue, Black and Splash x Black = Blue. The problem there was that the mottled gene seems to be dominant over just about everything, but his chicks did come out 1 blue, 3 or 4 black, and 2 or 3 mottled. I just don't know if this is because Splash x Black, or because the Black hen's genetics overtook his 7:1
