OEGB Genetics Question

What could you expect crossing a blue brassy back cock over a splash hen?

baby chicks

sorry I couldn't resist

You should get,
Blue Brassy Back X Splash = 50% Blue Brassy Back, 50% Splash.

Would'nt it be 50% blue with gold leakage, and 50% splash with gold leakage? Why would only the splash offspring be solid colored?

 

[GotGame]

ok, come on now, can we make up our minds

....jk, the reason I am asking is I have an awesome splash hen that is 99% white/super pale blue, hardly any black, has 8 tail feathers per side and awesome type, and I am working on my blue brassy backs, thought she might give me some super nice big tailed roosters...

You could have some "Gold Leakage" But it would still be a "Splash".
Splash isn't really considered a, "Solid Color" now is it?

Technically I should have said -
Blue Brassy Back X Splash = 50% Blue Brassy Back, 50% Sports similar to a Splash that may have Gold Leakage.

Because the OP isn't breeding to a solid Blue.

It you be like crossing a Blue Red to a Blue Red the offspring are no longer called Splash with gold leakage or (splash patterned gold duck-wing) but Pyle colored Sport.
They could call them a Splash but they are still a Sport...
