Is this correct?

So

Picture of your EE rooster? The colors usually associated with BSLs are due to the cross that hatcheries use (RIR x barred rock).

So BSL only works if pure breeds are crossed? Someone said earlier that it didnt matter the breed of the dad as long as he wasn't barred and the mom was a barred rock.

I will get him in a few minutes when he roosts and take a picture.

Here's Rusty. Cross ideas?? He looks a bit rough because hes been out in the pouring down rain so he's wet. His neck and saddle feather colors are lighter when dry. But he's definitely not barred.

Most Easter eggers aren’t actually first generation ameraucana crosses. He’s very likely an EE x EE.
He has the blue gene, which explains how his daughter turned out blue.

No. It’s just that hatcheries almost always use the same two breeds to make the classic BSL look.

Oh ok, thank you! So since she doesn't have a white mark on her head, shes probably a she? I had no idea Bonnie (my BR) could only throw her barred gene to male offspring. Genetics are so interesting!

Yes, if you’re sure of her parentage, the chick is a pullet.

Yes. Mom is pure Plymouth Barred Rock, Dad is Rusty. (Only Rooster i have and only barred rock i have, so Bonnie is the only one who lays the egg color. Chick came out of Bonnies egg.) Awesome! I'm pretty sure we are oing to keep her. She had us (my husband and i) wrapped around her finger (or toes) since the moment she hatched. We have a Lavender EE (grey) hen (Chloe) and she is our favorite! This chick should have been hers, lol, it reminds me of her.
