Would like to breed my splash pair

[jzlo]

I’m very new to breeding marans. I just got a splash maran hen and would like to breed her to my splash roo when they’re both ready. Would I be guaranteed splash offspring as well?

Yes!
Splash x splash will give you all splash offspring.

Probably a complex question, but how did we get so many different color variations?

Only 3 different colors. Black, blue and splash. On the first cross (blue to blue) it means 50% blue, 25% black and 25% splash offspring from that cross. On the splash to splash cross, all will be splash, 50% with black and 50% with blue "markings" (for lack of a better word.)

But aren't there colors like buff? How did we get those?

You don't from these colors.

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.
