puzzled in tennessee

[crankster76]

Ive been raising blue and black giants for several years . I just had a hatch that has produced some yellow chicks. they have never done this before. the chicks have always been black or blue, or a combo off, or the normal jersey chick color, but never yellow. and I was wondering id this might be a splash chick. maybe someone could help me out here. thanks........http://cdn.backyardchickens.com/2/20/200x200px-ZC-20925d34_tn.jpeg

Are they Splash? Although Black to Blue matings are not supposed to produce splash.
Years ago the Whites were produced from the Black line, I think they got the most of it bred out though. Maybe this is a throw back.

Are your matings specifically black to blue or are they flock bred so that the possibility of a blue to blue mating is there. if this is the case then I would suspect splash. The possibility of some of your birds carrying recessive white might also be there and these chicks inherited two copies of it and therefore white.

Yes these chicks are blue to blue. thanks
