Green sheen in blues

<< < (2/2)

Sharon Yorks:
As far as the green sheen in blues, I understand that if you breed a blue (S) male to a black (G) female, you should get a good (S) based pullet, but a bad 50-50 male and that could be where green pops up in a blue male. This makes sense. But how does green pop up in a blue male that is out of a splash male and blue female? This is where the question comes up again about how long does it take to get to a 100% line if trying to breed correctly? I'm wondering if that is even possible since it's so hard to know how far certain lines go back to which genes.   ???
