splash have completely random color. think of them as literally "splashed". color leaking on roosters are on very specific areas- the pyle zones which are hackles, saddle and can include wing bow area. if a splash cockerel happens to be gold and leaky, his hackles, saddle and wing bow will show brown/buff/red color. leakage on hens tends to be in lacing form on the hackle and possibly on the breast below the neck. black sex links are classic examples of leakage. just imagine them as being splash bodied with the same brown lacing on neck/breast and that's the image of a leaky splash hen. for leaky whites, it's easiest if you know if one of the parents had dominant white. such as white leghorn, buff lace anything. as chicks these are often white/cream same as leghorn chicks except they normally have a couple well defined black spots on the *down*. normal splash don't have those spots on down. also generally splash are not a clean white base. most have a distinct off-white color in various shades of grey and if look closely some have tiny flecking. most leaky whites have a clean white base.. unless they were crossed or mixed with something brown, in which case they can have sort of a dust stain white look.
