I understand blue/black/splash inheritance, but I've noticed it is available in so many breeds. How did this happen? Does the dilution gene just pop up that frequently, or is it crossed in at some point? If so, what breed was the first source of the Blue/black/splash coloration, and what breed do people usually use to put it into a variety? Specifically I'm interested in what Martin Silverudd used to introduce it into the Silverudd's blue chickens. Thank you.
