What color offspring from blue silkie roo over white hen?

[danischi24]

I am going to be getting a blue roo & a white hen. The roo is for a splash hen I have right now but if I bred the blue to the white, what colors should I expect? Both birds come from color separated flocks so there is nothing lurking behind their colors.

Whites ALWAYS have something hiding behnd their colour. With blues only recessive genes can hide, but they can hide for generations.

White X anything other than white is completely unpredictable. If you make the cross, you can later make future predictions for that individual white bird, but only becuase you will know what she has already produced.

Even though the white bird is from a flock that has been kept white for more generations than I care to count? She is from the best pure breeding around.

i thought thats how they get the blue splash. but im not sure.

Blue Splash comes from either one of these breeding:

Blue x Blue = Splash, Blue, Black
Splash x Splash = Splash

The white color in chickens does not dilute the blue color to make splash offspring.
