Sadly, no. You need a Blue/Blue or a Blue/Splash to get Splash. There's a great set of Punnett Squares for BBS on the forum:

It is funny that you should mention Punnett squares. I am teaching a high school biology course for our homeschool co-op. We have been learning about genetics and I gave the kids the assignment to find out who came up with Punnett squares. Reginald C Punnett was a British geneticist who not only created the Punnett square but also bred the first auto sexing chicken the Cambar by crossing Barred Rocks and Golden Campines. He was also one of the three men who created Cream Legbars. My students laugh because whatever we learn in class always eventually involves chickens!

This is a BBS chart too:


This year, I have two splash and two blue hens x splash rooster for the Arkansas blue egg layers.

If mine turn out nice enough to bother hatching eggs, I'll only get blue and splash since I have a splash roo. I might get some blacks if I swap eggs with the friend I gave a Blue cockerel and a couple of hens to though.

Anyone interested in golden cuckoo Marans eggs? I collected these eggs this week but decided to wait to set eggs until I have a few more OE to set (only one Ameraucana laying every couple of days) and these are ready now. If interested PM me. I am in Grass Valley.

This picture is of the actual eggs you will be getting

Very nice! Who is laying the dark egg? That is the color that my Welsummers lay.

We are thinking its either one of the buffs or its the Del who would lay eggs with painting issues. Some would almost be white while others would be spotted.

We do not get the dark regularly but the Buffs dont lay as frequently so It might be them. I did find it in the place the buff was visiting though

We are pretty sure all 8 have laid an egg at one point now.

I have to call them too. I want to verify a couple of things. I can ask about the RC RIW if you want me to. I will likely call tonight.

Ugh... I was kept three hours over at work again so I still didn't call. Did you? If not, I'll have to try again Monday. I did get a confirmation letter from SandHill saying I am slated for mid-June, but I still am very interested in Urch RIWs if he has them (someone on the RIW thread said they heard he wasn't doing them).
