K, I'm a li'l confused on something here.
Given the Blue Andalusian genetics...
If you breed any of the following ways this is what you'll get:
Blue x Blue = 50% blue 25% black 25% splash
Blue x Black = 50% blue 50% black
Blue x splash = 50% blue 50% splash
Black x black = 100% black
Splash x splash = 100% splash
Black x splash =100% Blue
Did you used a Blue Splash roo with black barred hens? ANd you got blue barred boys and blue girls?
So, for the purpose of applying the Blue Andalusian genetics to the Blue Sex Link breeding, "barred" is essentially the same as "black"? (as far as not producing splash or solid black or black barred)
Thanks!
Yes, you would consider barred as black the way you are meaning. Just know with barred hens of solid roos, they will be sexlinks, the F1 males will be barred and the F1 females will be solid.
Oh and an addition to what Sonoran Silkies said, she said you can use and nonbarred roo, which is true but I also want to add that you shouldn't use white roos unless you know their genetics because some may be masking barring underneath, and some may be dominant white, neither of which would produce sexlinks.
But back to your question, treat black barred as black like if:
Blue to Black gives 50% blue and 50% black then Blue to Barred will give the 50% blue ( the females will be solid blue and the males will be blue barred) and 50% black ( the females will be solid black and the males will be black barred)
Splash to Barred will give all Blue females and all Blue Barred males.
