It is made by having a blue or splash bird that has a lot of gold leakage and a barred blue or black bird.

that makes sense... and pretty too

This was created by crossing a araucana roo that appeared to be splash with some black EE/ameraucana hens and dominate white/black hens.No blues were produced so I would have to say he was not splash as all black areas should have been blue.I am guessing exchanger pattern as in leghorn and the mother must have been D.white carrying barring.D.white can also produce smokey and dunn.I asume smokey is responsible for the blue look in some areas.I will breed him to LF black or blue ameraucana and see what I get.I would like to keep the splash look and lose the barring as it makes the legs white/slate spotted and I want slate.I will try to post more pics.The first is the aracana roo the second is a sibling of the original post.He has no barring,single comb,and one very poor tuft.
