Got pics of progress? Also boy am I glad to see there was more progress photos posted earlier on this. I'm really glad to see more colors being worked on with Brahmas. I think Brahmas in general are a severely under-appreciated breed that needs more recognition.

From scratch - Lavender and Gold/Partridge. That's basically what it is. From there it takes a lot of breeding to get Lavender introduced, which is a little tricky, as it is recessive. There's a lot of breeding back to the Partridge then to the Lavender to get what you want.
If you are...

Technically it should still breed true. Lavender is what makes it, and is recessive, so he is either getting splits and not showing them, or it is breeding true. The only other fault that would come along would be smudged pencilling and/or too much color in areas like the tail, breast, etc.
The OP's bird's color is also referred to as Isabel Partridge ("gold" partridge with lavender) - Very rare, pretty, and something I'd love to see worked on in more countries.
Nice Lemon Pyles. 'Tis a color that needs work, but it is still very pretty and rare.
