If i crossed a blue butterscotch female with a butterscotch male what would the babys be

They would be a cross of both colours.

I think @Pyxis might be able to answer this question, she's my go to color genetics person.

I wonder if Blue Butterscotch with Butterscotch works like BBS genectics in Poultry.

How does it work in chickens? (I know nothing about genetics, lol).

 

[Pyxis]

Butterscotch is actually silver light phase mallard, genotypically. So, two copies of the blue dilution gene. Blue butterscotch is light phase mallard with only one copy of the blue dilution gene.

Breeding them together would yield half that are proper butterscotch with both the needed blue dilution genes, and half that only have one blue dilution gene and are 'blue' butterscotch.

If you plan to show or breed for show, note that blue butterscotch is not an accepted color.
