So glad your chicks are okay!!

I'm glad they are too. I'm lucky my roosters where near them to protect them.

I know! I lost so many of them to crows.
I heard it i freaked out and went into ninja mode to help protect them.
when I was putting em back in their coop. i grazed my whole lower back on the wooden stand that our tank is on

Here is the chart I have on my website for Andalusian blues:

Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Black X Black = 100% Black
Black X Splash = 100% Blue
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash * breeding this way will dilute your splashes, and they will fade more with each subsequent breeding.

If you want to darken the chicks back up you could breed to a black and you would get all blues, or breed to a blue and get half splashes and half blues. I would them use the darker splashes.

Here is a good article on BBS.... http://www.americansilkiebantamclub.org/articles/Breeding of the Blue Variety.asp

It sucks.
I'm going out into the coop every couple of hours checking for more chicks.
It kills when i have to bend over.
