Steve, are your spaulding hens colored as they are in Java Greens or drab as in India Blue? I've heard that Spaulding hens lean towards the java green side.
that all depends on their percentages. Mine are green as can be, but are 3/4 - 15/16 java too.
Low percentage of either sex will look more like the blue mutation they were crossed too, with sutule things like yellow face mask, long legs, greenish tints, erect crest, but over all blue looking.
So in short, they can be either way, just depends on how much green blood is in them.
