Hey everyone, I've got a question. When people say they have BBS Hatching Eggs for sale or they have BBS breeding pen, what does that mean? Does it mean Black, Blue, Splash?

Thanks!
What colors do you breed and/or sell hatching eggs?Thanks, Mindylee!!
I do love my birds and they make some real beauties!
That sounds really cool. What would happen if I had a breeding pen with BBS chickens and Mottleds? Would it produce any Blue Moddleds?Gosh, that is a loaded question.
I have Frizzles in black Mottled and blue Mottled pens, a multi-colored pen and several Mille Fleur pens. These are birds I created, not ones I bought from someone else. these are my own lines that I worked to get for the last 10 years.
I also have breeding pens of smooth bantam Cochins and as you can see from my avatar, I have shown them and done quite well. You can visit my website to see a lot more but it is a huge site so don't go expecting to spend only a few minutes there. I even removed a lot of pages of breeds and varieties I no longer own or work on and still it is huge. But it does need updating with a few new photos.
In bantam Cochin pens I have blue over black, black over blues and splash, Mottleds in blue and black, buff barred, red barred, red, Mille Fleur and a retirement pen of hens that still occasionally give me eggs. I often have around 750 birds here during peak summer months. Most of those are bantam Cochins. And most of these are birds I have worked on for years and made my own lines. I do not sell from every pen though. Some are still in progress and I hatch every egg myself.
I've never personally seen and sex link offspring produced by using anything other than silver gene hens or barred gene hens, however since blue is always dominate to brown, crossing your blue Cochin hen with a brown rooster should produce sex linked offspring. The male offspring should be blue and the female offspring should be brown.Can a self blue Cochin hen produce a sexlink chick? If so, what breed rooster is needed?
