Update on my blue partridge brahmas, Kalani turned out to be a rooster, actually the best looking rooster that I'm keeping for breeding. I was wondering, I have Montana and I'm wondering if he's a splash? He has a single comb though. And I have these two darker boys that I bought as chicks. Just wondering if I should use them for breeding even though they don't look like Kalani. Thanks!

Whether to use the splash cockerel in your breeding plan would depend completely on your what your breeding goals are.
A normal Brahma has two copies of the gene for pea comb, your splash cockerel having a single comb has 0 copies for pea comb and can pass none on to his young.
If your goal is too breed Brahmas, I would use the blue or black cockerels and lose the splash.
