Hi Peter!
Splash salmon usually comes from a blue salmon X blue salmon breeding, but can also come from a blue salmon X splash salmon breeding. Blue salmon behaves just like any other blue. A blue salmon X blue salmon will result in 50% blue salmon, 25% salmon and 25% splash salmon offspring. A blue salmon X splash salmon will give 50% blue salmon and 50% splash salmon.
It's always easy to identify the cockerels/roos as salmon or blue salmon. It's a lot harder to distinguish between salmon and blue salmon pullets/hens. So sometimes a blue salmon hen will end up in a pen with a blue salmon roo, resulting in the splash offspring.
Splash girls are easy to find because of that white underfluff.
