What is the difference between splash and splash mottled?

But splash is already white with dark "splashes". How could a basically white chicken have white spots?

Splash can actually be either one, white with dark specks or dark with dark specks. I have a splash OEGB hen that is a dark grey (blue) with black specks.

the reason Jamie got rid of her is cause she is a poorly marked spalsh.

On a good marked splash Mottled, all the dark blue "splashes" will have white spots.

Yes- that's just a splash. Not mottled. Some of my cochins look like that when they're young, and the spots get darker. You could breed her to black and get blue chicks.

I actually have one levender pullet that shows mottling for sale. the others are lavender with mottled genes. All of my birds seem to produce mottleds even when bred with solids from other lines. I don't think that they are true lavender but they would be a good start for someone that wanted to work on this color. I only raise BBS mottleds so they are no use to me.

The splash birds carry the mottled gene when they are from mottleds, but you can't see it on the already white feathers. My splashes produced blue mottled babies when bred to a black roo.

sorry for the double post but the computer was acting weird
