Is this a splash?

[TJAnonymous]

I recently saw another thread where someone mentioned their hen was a splash and looked similar to this coloring. Is that what you would call this mottled coloring? Btw I am referring to the whitish hen with the darker gray spots

Well that's a surprise. These are supposed to be blue Andalusians. They said it's likely I'd get 50% blue and 50% white. Out of 6 hens, I got 2 blue and 4 splash. Didn't even know that was an option.

Yes it's splash. Idk where you got them or why they said you could get white. Blue Andalusian breed like any blue. When blues are bred together you get blue, black or splash no whites.

Yep. Splash. Some people who don't know anything much about genetics think of it as white. Might just be advertising to a lower knowledge point than yours.

Blue Black Splash is a really common gene. And you get blues blacks and splash from it. White's a totally other color.... And more relevantly... Is white. XD

You got the pretty recessive genes.. most people hope for a blue or splash and you got only those two, lucky!

Those genes aren’t recessive.

I got them from McMurray Hatchery so surely they understand genetics.... I just checked their site again to make sure I didn't misunderstood. Sure enough, they talk about the blue color but then say chicks may also be black, white, or black/white combo. Nothing about splash unless that is what black/white combo is inferring?

The “white” and “black-white” is actually splash.
