Blue or splash? *edit* I asked this question and then realized how silly it is. She is ticked, lots of tiny black flecks in her feathers. Zoom in some for why I'm asking. She is Blue Ameraucana/ Silver Spangled Spitzhauben.

Yeah realized this after I posted, hence the edit lol. Granted I was very tired after scrubbing all the waters.Blue
She couldn't be splash anyways with the silver Spitzhauben, but some blues have the black dots. I have an araucana like thar
I have some Yokohama/cemani crosses like that. Blue with random flecks of black. Does anyone know what causes the black flecks?Blue or splash? *edit* I asked this question and then realized how silly it is. She is ticked, lots of tiny black flecks in her feathers.

I think it's just some of the black bleeding through. Blue is Bb after allI have some Yokohama/cemani crosses like that. Blue with random flecks of black. Does anyone know what causes the black flecks?
Any tricks to breeding the bleeding out? Like with silver, I read that you get rid of red leakage by hen selection. Anything like that for blue?I think it's just some of the black bleeding through. Blue is Bb after all
No clue. I only have one hen with it, and I actually quite like it so I'm not focused on erasing it. But logic tells me that breeding her would probably help it stick around. I'm not sure if males can show it or not. Maybe @3KillerBs has encountered it with the australorps?Any tricks to breeding the bleeding out?

I kinda like it too. Not sure what I want to do with my crossed birds...just curious what the possibilities are.No clue.

My blue Ameraucana don't have the ticking. It could be related to pateren maybe? Like with blue having issues turning the edging on rooster hackles and saddles.No clue.
