Breeding and Genetics...oh my!!
Mike Gilbert:
It's very helpful to use correct terminology. I was confused as well, but that's pretty normal I guess. Also, people who have been in the exhibition poultry fancy for some time don't use the term roo. It's cock or cockerel or rooster.

Does anyone else immediately go here when they see "roo?" ;D
With me and Tigger and Pooh
And Eeyore and Lumpy too
And Piglet and Rabbit and Roo
And Buster and Holly, hoo hoo!
Sharon Yorks:
I didn't before, but I probably will now. I bet from hear on out, every time I hear Roo, I'll now think of Pooh.
Don:
Welcome Samatha. Hope we get a change to meet this fall at one of the shows in NC. Beth has already requested meets for several shows so hopefully we can have a good showing of birds this fall.
You might do a search for the blue/black/splash breeding ratios to give you an statistical average of results for various combinations. You will see several discussions about the best way to breed blues if that is your goal. W/bW and sW are a bit more complicated but I think that the same general results will apply. You can breed the best that you have until you find another bird that you feel will give you better results.
Regarding lingo/terminology, different forums use many different terms or acronyms. Folks at the shows, and us old folks, will typically use the terms in the Standard of Perfections. Most of us had to learn along the way, we just forgot that it took us a while too.
