Blue Splash Marans

[ahenchey]

Yes

Thank you. Do you also know if you breed a black copper roo to a black maran hen, does it produce black copper chicks?

 

[ahenchey]

They are Not the same.

Blue/Splash Marans are based on the Extended Black e allele.
Blue/Splash Copper Marans are based on the ER Birchen e allele.

It's the same difference between Black Marans and Black Copper Marans but with the Blue/Splash mutation.

Thank you. Do you also know if you breed a black copper roo to a black maran hen, does it produce only black copper chicks?

Yes, only black... But they will be E/ER so Heterozygous for Extended Black..

 

[ahenchey]

Yes, only black... But they will be E/ER so Heterozygous for Extended Black..

So they won't be black Copper, they will be black marans?

 

[nicalandia]

So they won't be black Copper, they will be black marans?

Correct, at least phenotypically

No they are not. You are looking at blue copper vs. blue, splash vs. splash copper, and black vs. black copper. Although the BBS genes pass on the same, they aren't the same variety of Marans. The above poster explained it well.

Splash x Splash: 100% Splash
Black x Black: 100% Black
Blue x Black: 50% Blue, 50% Black
Blue x Blue: 25% Black, 50% Blue, 25% Splash
Blue x Splash: 50% Splash, 50% Blue

I thought splash and splash would not result in splash chicks. I read that to get splash you breed blue maran with blue maran to get 50% blue, 25% black and 25% splash? I was wondering if you bred a splash to a blue if the ratio of splash would change?

SplashXSplash will only result in splash chicks.

SplashxBlue will resulting 50% blue and 50% splash.

What about black x splash?

They are Not the same.

Blue/Splash Marans are based on the Extended Black e allele.
Blue/Splash Copper Marans are based on the ER Birchen e allele.

It's the same difference between Black Marans and Black Copper Marans but with the Blue/Splash mutation.

What does e allele mean?
