Thanks. I just think the lavenders are soooooo pretty. But its the color that I love. Its so unusual. I am hoping they grow up into stunning hens.

Here's my little, cough cough

Julia - she's actually developing pretty slowly but I think she's a beauty. 8 months old

I have wondered the same thing and I`m very curious what the answer might be. Why can`t a Blue or Splash Orp breed with a Lav?

Just jumping in here.

Yes they could breed with Blues and Splashs, the resulting lavs. would not be as good, i am going to call it not as "crisp". It may result in a more "sloppy" lav. now don't qoute me, on this....

This is precisely the kind of info I'm looking to discuss!

I opened a thread just for this talk, since it's not breed specific. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=415842

Have you seen the genes mixed at all? Wait- don't answer that here... go to the other thread!
