That's kinda of what I thought, but I guess we'll find out when he's old enough! In the mean time I've got 2 BS hens that will be breed to a BSIB or IBBS what ever it is! I wonder what I'll get?

Well if the hens are both India Blue Black Shoulder, and the male is India Blue Black Shoulder, you should get... India Blue Black Shoulder chicks

Also guaranteed to be 100% cute

Will they be white like their mothers or blue like their father?

Girls will be "white," boys will be blue. That's how the color/pattern works.

Can we agree to call it "light colored," rather than "white"?

They look very light, and are born yellow, but it is not white, and it is not the result of "white" genes... Black shoulder hens are light colored... not white...

But 100% cute

and beautiful

Let me go back and also say, if these are the same hens we were talking about earlier, that are apparently split to some kind of white or pied, and dad is also split to white, you could get an actual white bird (of either gender) IF the hens (or either of them) is carrying a white gene, and depending on which birds (if any) have pied genes, then pied offspring are not out of the realm of possibility.

Your India Blue Black Shoulder split white or pied birds will probably look like their parents, girls like mom, boys like dad. Does this help?

That's why I put it in quotations. Didn't want to build up more confusion. But yes, they're most definitely NOT white, just light colored - as the blackshoulder (or solid wing) pattern dictates.

100% cute always.

Not quite sure! I am no expert, but I would say the colour of it's plumage would be "Day old burrito."
