What's the difference between a regular Oegb and a sport?

Sport is what is called splash in other breeds... like Blue, Black, Splash... breed 2 blues of any variety together in OEGB's and you get Sport...

What's the difference between a regular Oegb and a sport?

A Sport carries 2 copies of the blue gene, as opposed to the single copy carried by a blue bird. Breeding blue X blue gives you 50% blue, 25% black, 25% sport/splash.

The benefit to breeding sports (in this case, sport X normal black brassy) is that 100% of the offspring will be blue brassy.

Yes, your birds are sports. Sport X sport = 100% sport offspring as well. Breed one of your birds over a black you will get 100% blue.
