I found this site, pretty cool, just put in your colors and it calculates it for you...

I think I've checked that out before, but it didn't give me options for recessive white/dominant black. It just does straightforward calculations.

Hypothesize with me for a second...
I have a white rooster, who I am under the assumption is actually recessive white, black dominant. And a buff hen. They have produced 2 black chicks and 1 blue.
Based on this chart, that would make my buff hen a blue dominant or recessive, correct?
And if that's correct, then they will not produce splash together. But if I breed a blue to a blue, I have a chance of splash.
Right?
@Saris
Anyone else is more than welcome to put their two cents in too. I'm always up for learning!

White isn't really a color per se, you get white from genes that prevent black from expressing. so all white birds are genetically black, the color just doesn't get produced.

I am betting that your white rooster carries dominate white and the blue modifying gene, but since dominate white prevents the black from expressing the blue gene is also hidden.

Buff is also caused by many factors, but all the stuff that makes buff would be hidden by the genes carried by your white rooster.

I expect if the chick is a boy it will show lots of red leakage.

Okay, black isn't a dominate or recessive thing. White can be dominate or recessive. Give me a second to edit this to try and figure stuff out.

Wow, I found a lot more options on my phone versus computer. I may need to take a second look.

I can't blame ya. They'd probably be in the house if they were mine, lol

But these two made 2 black chicks prior. I'm totally growing this chick out to test this whole theory out. I want(/have) to know.
Thank you!
And I'm totally bringing this up this saturday (forewarning )

Has this boy produced a white chick?
