I can't find anything worthy to validate this strain of rocks. Anyone have any knowledge of this? Or BS?

yup they are a breed recognized by the APA... Pretty. if a so called breeder dosent know that blue is really diluted black... dont buy them LOL. cuz who knows what other faults are being bred into the birds... yes you will always get black when breeding blues. the black ones only got half the blue genes while the blue birds got both blue genes...

Would it not also be normal to get some splash chicks as well?

im not a genetics wizard by any means LOL. but I would assume it would come down to how they were bred. blue to black, splash to blue ect ect... I recall a very great article OC posted about breeding blues and how the blue/black/splash shoupd be considered different breeds... idk though... I decided I wasnt going to breed my BBS Ameraucanas and avoid the headache LOL.

Hmmm, I don't think she is selling, just posting her pics. I want blue plymouths. Wait, is that a want or a need. Hmmm.
Very interest. I'm going to dig deeper and see what I can find.

From what I see this is typical when breeding blue fowl . Nothing out of the ordinary in that group of chicks .

Like BobG said typical group of chicks.
Sandy if you are looking for a headache, breeding Blues will guarantee that!

Just an FYI, Nuno is the person who has caused Precision Poultry to stop selling eggs .I am glad that some hatched , but a little sad also as next year that small group will probably be pumping out chicks . That's not a large enough group to pick future breeders from

I thought I recognized that name but couldnt connect the dots... so they get hatching eggs from PPR, complain about how they were shipped, gave a nasty review which caused PPR to shut down selling hatching eggs. then once the "terrible eggs" hatched they have no idea what they have.... And in 8-10 months time you can expect this person to be selling these as hatching eggs.
RIDICULOUS!
