“Breeding Blue Disclaimer: When breeding blue chickens, genetics play a unique role in color outcomes. Breeding two blue chickens typically results in 50% blue offspring, 25% splash (lighter, spotted plumage), and 25% black. This predictable color variation is a natural part of blue chicken genetics, so keep in mind that not all chicks from blue parents will be blue.”
