Polish splash X Polish splash- PICTURES added

If you want pure birds, you have to seperate the pens. How old are the younger males? It's possible to get blue birds from splash and non blue gened parents. If a splash or blue bird bred with your white male, you could get blue offspring if the white isn't hiding anything and it's not homozygous for dominant white. Chicks from a splash x red breeding would likely look blue at hatch and feather in with red in the hackles and saddles in males and in the breasts of females.
What do you have for females? If you only have splash females and the chick ends up being a blue, it's a mix. If your other males are too young, they may not even be breeding yet.
Can you post a pic of the chicks?

Yeah, I'll separate them when I get the chance. I don't have any silkies in this pen ?
Actually, I am intentionally hatching some Polish(roo)xred(hen) just to see what I get and there haven't been any blues in that bunch yet.
Ok, the second one that I thought was blue, isn't. It is dry now and is more splash colored but I am pretty sure it is a mix too since there are some odd colored spots on him. So just the one, likely, pure splash. That is fine, I intend to have a mixed Polish pen anyway, just because I'd like to see them in different colors, lol.
Thanks.
