Oh sorry, DMRippy, I didn't know that. Thank you for starting this thread though! Very nice people so far and informative! Hopefully I'll be able to add some Lavenders to my flock in the future, and help them get approved.
Thank you Finnie! That actually helped. I grew up around my aunt breeding horses and have a few of my own, so Homozygous and Heterozygous helped it click (at least in my head) a bit better.
So Lavender will always be covered by black? There could never be a Lavender colored heterozygous...
Ohhh... I think so. Yes, I think so now. thank you.
So what is the point of the splits? Just to hopefully bring in better body/feather type from the blacks? Then breeding back to Lavender for the color?
Thanks for your help!
Hi, I'm subscribed to this thread. I have BBS and Wheaten Ameraucanas, but am thinking of adding the Lavenders. I think they are stunning. I love that the roosters have the same coloring as the hens. If anyone ships chicks or hatching eggs please PM me!
I had a question, I'm not a genius...
