If you breed your Splash male over Cuckoo females you will get blue Cuckoo male offspring and the females will be solid blue. Cuckoo females only pass on their cuckoo/barring gene to their male offspring, so the males will be easy to tell at hatch who is who...they should have a nice big white spot on their heads. The females should not.
Is your Splash from Copper parents?

hahaha...uh oh!! Do we need to get you into a 12 step program stat?
I don't know if it will help....but I think we are safe for today (couldn't find anything I wanted) but day is young and somebody could put up a new auction.
Just looking for something fun to add to the layer pen maybe. Possibly a breed I've never had.
Would jump all over some more BLRW's if I found them.
Hens~ Do your Blue Andies lay white eggs?
yes they lay white eggs, we left the blue copper marans girl with that pen so we could know when she lays!

Good thinking!
I don't have any white egg layers....do you know of any of your Andie friends that may have hatching eggs or do you have any?

Just an added bit of info, the roos will be sex links and will NOT breed true. You will get pot luck on his off spring. Found that out the hard way, but it was a nice surprise in the long run. Got colors I would not have gotten if he were not a sex link
When I say he will not breed true, you will get some babies with barring and some will not. I don't even think his offspring will breed true, but I have not really figured that out yet. I think the pullets with barring will breed correctly, cuz they only have one copy of that gene, but any roos with barring can only have one copy and should also breed like a sex link.... I DON'T really know if this is right so if not please someone educated me in NONE genetic terms.

You could just put a true cuckoo roo over the blue hens and then all the babies should come out barred.
