breeding a splash to a splash??

[cowlady11]

I have a trio of splash cochins and i was wondering; if i were to hatch a few chicks from them, would all of the offspring be splash? or would it be a b/b/s mixture?

thanks!!

100% splash.

The problem with breeding splash to splash is that in just a couple generations you are going to get very washed out splashes. These are splashes with very little of the splashing. They will look like a sort of dirty white.

If you want really nice and dark splashes in the next generation get ahold of a dark blue Roo for the splash hens.

ok, thank you very much! i was hoping for blues and blacks in the first place, but they all hatched splash!!
