I would say they would be yellow as the bird is yellow and only split for blue.
A great site that isnt gomer?

Thats saved to favourites that one.I went out tonight to look at them.But i think they are to advanced now to use that method.But you can now see it in the feathers.

The parents being Yellow the Cock is DF and all young are Silver, DF Yellow Cocks and DF Yellow Cocks Split Blue so you wont know the Splits and the hens are the same.

One question.If the chick is yellow back/blue,does it have yellow or white nodules.I suspect yellow ?

Yellow - you only see the white nodules if the bird is genetically recessive for blue.

Though I should mention I have had one instance where I had a white noduled chick end up normal, but I have never had the opposite - a genetic blue with yellow nodules.

There's always one that has to be different. Fancy letting you down and turning out normal.
Oh well maybe it will surprise you yet and throw a random gene.
