Silkie questions

[RooptyDoo]

If I keep my splash silkie roo in with my black, blue, and splash hens what will I get? I know when you breed splash x splash you get 100% splash so If the roo bred with the blue and black what would I get? Would I get 50 % splash 25% black and 25% blue?

I am not good with genetics, but I wrote these down for my own information if I start a b/b/s breeding program in the future (hoping I can). I saw this on a post a while back, I don't remember who the original author was.

Blue x Blue = 25% Black 50% Blue 25% Splash

Black x Blue = 50% Black 50% Blue

Black x Splash = 100% Blue

Blue x Splash = 50% Blue 50% Splash

Splash x Splash = 100% Splash

Black x Black = 100% Black

Hope this helps,

Lisa

You shouldn't breed splash x splash for more than a few generations, as the colors will get washed out and faded.
