no.

wouldnt you get a possable 50/50 of blue and blacks?

I believe so. I cant remember which it is, Blue x Blue = 100% blue or Blue x Black = 50% Blue/50% Black or vise versa but you definately wont get a Splash from Blue x Black.

Blue x Black = 50% Blue and 50% Black chicks

Black x Splash = 100% Blue chicks

Blue x Splash = 50% Blue and 50% Splash chicks

Splash x Splash = 100% Splash chicks

This silkie is about 20-25 weeks old. The one on the right in the first picture is a 2yr old hen. I am interested to know if the other one is a roo. It's already bigger than the hen, so I am curious! Thank you for your help!!
