I thought Id update this thread. Ive hatched out a LOT of chickies from this cross. All are either blue or black. The boys do indeed have a white spot on their head, tho sometimes its faint and you really have to look especially on the blues. The blacks are easy to tell...head spot boy, no spot, girls. Ive only been keeping a few blue girls, since Im wanting to increase the flock for Mr. B. Im amazed at the lacing Im getting...must be coming from the barred girls, since Mr. B has little or no lacing. Im going to move Mr. B to a pen with some of my original blue/splash/black rock hens, and Ive added a really handsome splash roo to my flock. Im going to put the splash rock (he's nearly ready) with the barred hens, which will give me 100% blue sex linked chicks. The blue babies that I have now Ill put in with Mr. B to get more pure blue/black/splash chicks with no barring. This has been fun!
