So I’m buying some lavender cuckoo English Orpington hatching eggs, I’m very excited about it. However at the moment I only have a muave rooster. I understand the colors would most likely be split. But I was wondering what colors to expect from muave over lavender cuckoos? Also have a silver...

Hello! I have a chick that was most likely the result of breeding a blue cream (aka porcelain) to a lavender. The chick is black. Does anyone know what this chick is carrying? Would it be considered a lavender split? Or would it be a blue cream split - is that even a thing? I’m not sure how...

I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom. Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black. So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?! The neck in a video when...

Hello! I am wondering if it is possible to get lavender (self blue) silkies strictly from blue cream/porcelain breeding stock? From my understanding blue cream is a combination of the lavender gene over buff. So I guess I’m wondering if it’s possible to get chicks without the buff genes so they...

Anyone know what I would get from my lavender Orpington roo over chocolate hens? Thank you!

So I purchased a dozen lavender orpington eggs last year from a local lady to add a new bloodline to my stock. When I hatched them I did not get lavender orpingtons, lol, I got these beauties instead! I know they are lavender and ameraucana or easter eggers (I would call them EE just to be sure)...

I'd love to breed some lavender silver penciled chickens with black heads (which will be barely noticeable with the lavender, but still.) and I want to know if there is a name for that color or is it just called lavender silver penciled (or in my case, lav. silver penciled with charcoal)? Thanks!

I am new to this site so I will do my best. I was excited to get a lavender roo and in isabel lavender orpington hen Thinking I will get a lot more if I bred them together , After reading some previous threads about genetics, I know. I will need more than five minutes to grasp Everything. I'm...

I have this beautiful, metallic lavender olive egger Roo, that I hatched from an egg and is now five months old. I don’t know what to breed him with. I have read there are certain things you’re not supposed to breed because of the recessive gene. I have lavender Orphington’s, and light Brahmas...

So this is a bit difficult to word the way I’m trying to ask, so correct me if it makes no sense but I have a bantam Easter egger who has the most beautiful coloring. She’s only about two months old but I’m very curious about her possible genetics. I know Easter Eggers are mixes and hatcheries...

I crossed my rescued farm brown shaver hens with my purebred lavender araucana rooster. I have hatched around 2 dozen eggs from this cross. All the chicks are black down with an orangey face. This is ehat I expected because lavender is recessive underneath lavender is black. However, I did get...

I got this chick from a local breeder and I've seen the parents. Does anyone have a "splash" lavender?

I have a hen that is from a lavender Orpington rooster and buff Orpington hen. I don't have a picture of her right now, but I can get one later. What do you think I would get if I bred her to my blue Cochin bantam roo? Any ideas are super appreciated!! Also, ive hatched out a couple chicks from...

We have 5 roos to re-home! One is a pure Lavender Orpington. He is about 1.5 years old. The other 4 are his offspring and crossed with Ameraucana (different hens). Two of the 4 have the fluffy cheeks and 2 do not.

My kid called this one Dal, here she is as a hatchling (she’s the loud mouth in the back) When she started growing feathers: 3 weeks, next to an Egyptian and Tibetan (disregard their tomato!) a different breeder suggested she was a Pearl at this point. And now at almost 6 weeks 🤯🤩 her...

Unfortunately, the last couple of ducklings from a failed clutch were found in the coop this morning. Projected hatch date was in a couple of days. Parents are Buff Orpingtons and they have no contact with other ducks. What's really interesting is that both ducklings were pure silver. Last...

I have a lavender Wyandotte that’s about 7 1/2 weeks old. Pullet or cockerel? I am thinking it’s a cockerel but not totally convinced.

Here are some updated photos of my lavender Wyandotte who is 5 weeks old tomorrow. Any guesses or help on his/her sex? There isn’t much comb growth since the 3 week photo but it has gotten more color at the top and the wattles are getting some color. I can’t have a rooster where we live and we...
