Pekin Genetics

[werb]

I have started a small group of Pekins, I'm interested in what colours breed what. I've saw abit of info about frizzles but nothing about breeding one colour with another and what colours they will produce.
I've a lavender Roo and a blue hen and a frizzle.
Any help would be great, links or your own experience.

Pekins follow the same genetic rules as all chickens do, Mendelian Genetics, so if you cross a Lavender rooster with a blue hen you will get 50% black penkins and 50% blue pekins, all of them will have inherited the recessive lavender gene that will not be showng on them due to being recessive,..
