I realize this isn't a breeding forum, but it doesn't seem that there is one.
I understand blue/black/splash genetics. What I'm curious about is how dominant the black is in a splash bird. I have a splash ameraucana roo who is covering a mixed flock. I did a test hatch of my black copper marans eggs, and got blue chicks. Yay! Success. Blue olive eggers!
So when I hatch my RIR and white rock eggs to get green layers, will those chicks be blue as well? I plugged the colors in to a color calculator and the result says blue chicks, just wondering if anyone had real life experience. It seems too good to be true!
Had to put off setting eggs for a few weeks due to a mutt cockerel reaching puberty sooner than anticipated ...
