splash silkies, what do I breed to get them????

[bacres]

Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash
Splash X Black = 100% Blue
Black X Black = 100% Black

Hope this helps!

All that is depending on the background colors of the parent birds. You can get White or other colors if they are in the background!

Yeah because if your black carrys lavender you could get lavender as well or other colors for that matter. But that is the basic genetic result if you don't have recessive colors behimd the parents.

wow! I've never know these things before!! I thought that if I breed black with white I'll get splash, but it doesn't matter, people in my country only got white and brown idk chocolate silkies, I wish I have cuckoo silkies!

I was lucky enough to find 2 cuckoo silkies. Now I am just waiting to see if they are boys or girls
