Sounds like they are split to blue, not to black.

If a lav is breed with a blk how would they be spilt to blue?

Either the black is really a blue, or the lavender is also blue. When present in only one copy, lavender does not affect pigment colour.

So how are everyones lavs doing? This thread used to be crazy, and it has been so slow. Hope everyone is ok and doing well! I am selling my blues/splashes, and porcelains to focus on my lavenders, splits, and blacks. I think there is no prettier color than a lavender!

Things are HOT HOT here so we are really slowed down. Going on day 63 of triple digits. That says it all.

UGH! I would DIE! Hopefully it cools of very soon!

All I have right now is some splits due to hatch in the next day. Once they are out I will be setting 14 more at least. Most will be splits though. All of my lav hens but two have been in with my porcelain roo and those eggs are all on auction now. If no one bids I will set them too I guess!

I got two new birds for my lav showgirl project today! One is a 5 month lav pullet who after quarantine will go in with my lavender showgirl roo, and a young split roo who will cover my 4 lav showgirl hens, and a black split showgirl hen. I can't wait to see how they fill out!

Here the new additions are:

I am also setting 14 eggs today all from my two lav showgirl project pens. I am hoping for a good hatch since I lost my last batch to a power outage. Thanks hurricane Irene.

Is anyone else still setting eggs? Any nice youngsters in the grow-out pens?
