What would this cross produce?

[momma-hen]

My splash roo was killed/disappeared and my BBS girls are on their own. I do have a black lavender split roo who is only servicing 2 girls.
What would a BlackSplit roo and BBS cross result in? Would I ruin the BBS line?

 

[Goose and Fig]

No- it wouldn't ruin the line, but unless you breed him to a black hen and cross back repeatedly, you will lose the lavender. The BBS would be fine though.

You can actually perpetuate the lavender with blues or splash--if you want to. Same as with black, to get lavender, you would have to back cross or breed siblings together.

Just treat him like any other black roo in a BBS pen. The lav gene will be passed on to half the offspring, but it won't show unless the bird has it in two doses.

Awespme! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
