I recently bought these Blue OEGBs and was wondering if they breed true or do they come in blue, black, and splash? There was a black roo in with them so I bought him too just in case.

They do not breed true. Blue x Blue will give you 25% Splash 25% Black 50% blue and thats on average of about 100 chicks

Yes , this is true with all blue/ blue patterned breeds. Self Blue (lavender) breeds true.

If you bred the black roo with the blue hens, you would get half black and half blue.
