blueish black x grey ....

Hi- If I bred a blueish black silkie to a grey, any odds of getting a splash? Or its that just for blue. Also have white silkies to throw into the mix...Thanks!

Are you sure your grey is not a light Blue? Your blueish black sounds like a dark Blue. Blue x Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash. If the dark one is a Black, you will only get Blue and Blacks.

My situation has improved since the last post.

I've got 5 blues on the way. Sure hope one is a male. Hope they are not ALL males!!
