Great! Thank You!

Oh! I just thought of another question I have. Would it be correct to say lavender is a dilutent of black? I know it can dilute other colors like buff, and you get like a light creamy color but the standard lavender is when you have homozygous lavender genes present on a black bird correct...

If they are all from the same batch she is probably blue, my understanding is black x splash will produce all blue, but if it's blue x blue it will produce 50% blue 25% splash and 25% black

He is an easter egger, that is all I know I'm afriad. I bought him, his sister, and another guy, as three lavender orpington pullets. I was suspicious when I recieved them that they were boys but the lady insisted they were girls... should have gone with my gut. They are also very clearly not...

Thank You so much!

I thought "breeding true" meant all the offspring would be the same as the parents, like if you cross lav x lav you will get lavender offspring, but does it actually mean the offspring can be the same as the parents, and not necissarily that they all will be? Like how if you cross blue x blue...

Ah yes, these charts have been my best friends as I begin to dip my toes in the very basics of genetics. I was not aware that blue could vary so heavily from bird to bird. Thank you so much! The two EE's were sold to me as lavender orps.... pullets too.... Once I recieved them the lady insisted...

Interesting! Thank you so much! I didn't know that! Just starting to dive into the world of genetics.

Thank you! Still learning!

Thank you so much! The thing that confused me personally was that I have two blue cochin/brahma bantams and they are much much darker than the birds in question. Both blue and lavender are deluting correct? Except lavender is only present when homozygous, and blue doesn't breed true correct? So...

Before in a local Facebook foul group I was told these Easter Eggers were Lavender, now I'm being told they are blue. Which is it? Sorry if this is a really obvious question, but everyone is telling me different things :oops: I find people on BYC have better and more correct information. Thanks...
