No shipping 25.00 firm, send me a PM. I am in the Louisville KY area. I have four of these gray x lavender silkies. They are beautiful boys

Ummm.... I have a silkie who now likes to take her two babies into the nest box for shelter. Needless to say, we have had more eggs with a little poo on them. What do I do? Do I wash them as soon as I bring them in with some magical solution that wont push the bacteria into the shell? Clean it...

Quote: I've got a ton of splits that look like this right now Their mother is Gray and father is Lavender.

Quote: Where do the various extra smileys come from?

Quote: I agree and I totally understand what you're saying! When I was looking to buy lavs, I wanted to know if the person I was buying from knew the parentage of the birds they were selling. If I wasn't buying directly from someone with a good reputation for breeding Lavenders (like you...

Quote: If you haven't already, ya might want to just save a word document to cut and past that!

Quote: A lot of folks are calling anything that apppears to have blue and buff colouring porcelain, or anything that might have lavender bred into the line at some point. I will not argue that the birds are not pretty, but there is a lot that is called porcelain that is not, and that is...

Quote: Splash and blue are big no no's to cross with lavender because its very hard to distinguish the lavender offspring. The experts say that splits are best made by crossing lavender and black. Not an expert but I do know this: If you cross a true lavender to another true lavender then...

Quote: I have one that looks like that from my gray/lav splits. He/She's siblings have the silver colored hackle feathers, but it looks like yours. Heres a pic of him/her with the two siblings, you can see the difference. It's the chick in the back that looks a lot like yours.

Quote:

No expert opinion here, but that probably is a gray (silver part). That looks a lot like my gray to lav splits.

Quote: So a lav chick that is born out of a split parentage would have to be a true lavender chick. If the split is still there it would not appear lav. Did I get that right? I just don't want to screw up my lav project Got it The lavender parent will contribute a copy of lav to all...

Quote: If it shows lavender, it is lav/lav. If not pure for lavender (Lav+/lav) there is absolutely no visual indication that there is a copy of lavender in the bird; it is completely hidden. So a lav chick that is born out of a split parentage would have to be a true lavender chick. If the...

Okay, this is off topic of lavs. I am looking to buy some nice BQ/SQ blacks or splash to start a black/blue/splash breeding pen. I have a lovely blue rooster who is currently running around with my layers, seems a waste for his quality. I figure then I could use blacks for splits with my lavs...

Cute!!! Jens a lucky chick

Quote: Splits bred to 100% Pure Lav will give you 50% lav offspring, then the lav offspring from that breeding bred back to 100% Pure Lav will give you 100% Lav offspring. LavxLav=Lav Thanks! Wanted to be sure I was understanding things correctly

No, makes sense! So when I breed these 1st generation splits back to a 100% lav, then take a lav chick from that breeding and put it in my lav pen, would it throw 100% lavs? Or would there be like a 25% rate of split chicks?

I was always told the big no no was to mix lav with the blues and splashes. So this goes for every color but black? Is it that only the black lav splits can produce a lavender that when bred to another lavender will result in 100% lavender? I hope that made some sort of sense...... I am...

Quote: That looks a lot like my gray/lav splits! How interesting it was from a black/lav breeding
