Australorp colours when mixing a different colour rooster to the hen

[rachelsp]

Hello, I wonder if someone could help me, I have just started breeding black Australorps and am going to buy some blue Australorps. What colour chick would I get if I crossed a blue and a black together?

Also I really want to get the white Australorp but have been told there are none in the uk. If I were to purchase them from abroad I’m assuming the eggs would get X-rayed and not survive?

What colours would you get mixing the white and blues and the black and whites?

Thank you in advance

I know they have them in Germany.
You should get 50/50 black blue... but I am no expert

White Australorps aren’t that cool anyways. They’re just like any other white bird. Too similar to Orpingtons.

Here's a website that came up when I Googled blue black splash:

Mine are from Welp, via a local farm store. I'm so impressed with them that I'm ordering more this spring.

Blue + Black = 50% blue and 50% black
Assuming australorps are recessive white then:
Blue + White = 50% blue and 50% black
Black + White = 100% black

With the Australorp's you will get 50/50 black's and blues by crossing a blue with the black. Breeding the blue to blue one's, you will get black's, blue's, and possible splash in the chick's. I had the B/B/S Australorp's before. They were nice bird's, but I gave them up for another breed that does better in the heat here.

I came across this conversation from a couple of years ago while trying to find out about cross breeding my Blue Australorp rooster. Do you know if the blue will pass down if I bred him to my Red Sex Link, Welbar, or Speckled Sussex?
