I am not sure if this will help but this was my splash male at 2-3 weeks old: thanks for posting! Mine are only just over a week.

As Keesmom pointed out - he is Blue Salmon - not Splash

however - we called him Capt Obvious due to his comb

Hopefully yours will be as cooperative!

Do you have solid blues or blue salmons? I thought you had the solid colored ones.

Keesmom, i have a question that maybe You can answer….I have not had a splash roo yet like the one you have pictured but have had two females that look like that. I had been in the understanding that LF Salmons girls have dark points, Blue Salmon girls have blue/grey points and Splash Salmon girls have white points rather than full whitish with splash markings.. I have examples of each…….?

My other question, my Blue Roo has always been blue, but during this summer his feathering of course has bleached so has some brownish, but i was wondering if a solid Blue could be a splash too….He has developed black spots and streaks….not alot, but enough for me not to think of him as solid. Will try to get pics…

After receiving the Blacks from You, am glad that You still plan to raise them…..Looking forward to seeing what Your group produces with Your pretty Blue Boy……eliz

I have salmon, blues and one splash.

For those of you (like myself) that live in cold winter climates, any tricks for helping the Favs with the ice on the beards? I only had one last winter and ended up twice bringing her in to use a blow dryer and melt off the icicles!! Poor thing! I use a galv metal waterer with a heated base.

I have a hard time telling blue salmon and salmon pullets apart. The variation in blue and grey can be close.

A picture of your blue male would help. I suspect he is blue not splash. Even the one I have has some black flecking.

Whether or not I am able to work with blues hasn't been decided yet. I am still waiting to see what the fallout is from Roostergate.

Molting has been a bit problematic this year. Beards and tails taking the hardest hits. Poor babies!

Oh my goodness, I thought they were naked necked favaucanas!

Dizzy is 3 weeks old today! She is still doing good aside from her bad eye. It is starting to look foggy now (I knew that would happen) here's pics.

She is pretty dark colored. Not quite what I was expecting but I guess that's a hatchery bird for ya.
