She is a black with gold leakage, I have one just like her. I crossed a black hen with a red partridge roo to get her.

Priscilla queen of the dessert. She is my best little broody.

Looks like partridge.

Sweet! Thanks! Any idea what her babies would like if I introduced her to a silver partrige roo?

Here are some pic updates from pics I posted from when she hatched 8-10 weeks ago

Probably because smaller birds might try and ingest the corn cob bedding but I have never had any issues with it. Small chicks mainly are the ones in danger of that, but I kept mine in it and they never had any issues, matter of fact they seemed more active in it then on pine shavings. They loved digging in it and stuff. But I guess to each they're own. Cedar is bad for birds though, something to do with the way cedar smells or something.

Cedar and blackwood are casenergenic.

My eggs are popping like popcorn. I've been getting a lot that look like this:

It may be hard to see in the pics, but they are yellow underneath. Mixed with the blue, they look sort of khaki all over. Any thoughts as to possibly colors?

Pics are fine . Looks like my little one. Its my very first splash.

This would be great. I suppose I should add that this little guy's dad is a paint, mom is black. I do not know their parentage, however.

All of my Splash and Blue birds originally came from my Paint male x Lavender or Blue Partridge. Some of them had leakage but most turned out
Splash.

These chicks all turned out Splash. Their Grandfather was Paint.

What they look like today at five weeks old.

Thank you guys for the pics. They're encouraging. And you both have lovely birds. I'm almost certain that this is what I have going on as well. I'm starting to rethink the black hen definitely being the mother. I've a lavender hen in the same pen.

More than likely your black hen is a blue. It is a very common mistake to make. Splash are created by the blue gene , not lavender.

If she's a blue, she's fooled a lot of judges. lol
