Blue splash Cochin roo?

[lily7grace92]

Hello everyone! I am pretty new to this whole chicken thing and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what my rooster is? I received him from a family member when he was 7 months old and they had gotten him in a assortment package from a hatchery online. They had no idea what he was and so I did a lot of research and came up with a (blue splash Cochin?) The only problem is that the hatchery doesn’t sell that kind of chicken lol. So I thought maybe someone here would have an idea about what he is. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

He does look to be a splash. They are from blue breeding. You get blue, black and splash when breeding blues.

So I have an egg from him and my (silver laced Cochin) what would be the color choices of that combo? I tried using color calculators and many other things, but it’s all so confusing to me .

I'm not positive myself. I crossed a silver laced Wyandotte with a buff Orpington and I ended up with a Columbian colored bird.

All the chicks would be blue, probably with some silver leakage.
