I am looking to possibly replace 2 of my Jersey Giants with Show Quality JGs!
Right now I have a trio of blacks but I have been looking at Blues an Splashes and I really like them also!!
So opinion time!!!
Would you go with 2 more blacks or 2 more of either Blue or Splash or one of each!?

The great thing about Blues and Splash is that you can breed them all back to black. A mix of all would be wonderful!

You can breed them to get these results:

Black X Black= 100% Black
Blue X Blue = 25%Black, 25%Splash, 50%Blue
Blue X Black = 50%Black & 50%Blue
Blue X Splash = 50%Blue & 50%Splash
Splash X Black = 100%Blue
Splash X Splash = 100%Splash

So I kind of want to get 1 Splash hen and 1 Blue roo an keep my 1 Black hen, I would get BBS!

heres a question I wasnt sure about... In some county shows, they have classes for Best trio... if I have a Blue, a Black and a Splash would that be a DQ since their not all blacks or all blues or all splashes?

A trio would have to consist of only one variety.
