    Interaction of Lavender?

Upon purchasing her I contacted the breeder and found out she had a pen of solid lavenders (should be 100% lav offspring?), and a pen with white and lavender mixed to...

    Is this a lavender silkie?

    Hello! Can anyone share their thoughts on this little silkie chick? Do you think it will be lavender or too early to tell? I don’t know what either parent looked like unfortunately. It really doesn’t matter, it will be loved either way! Just curious :) Thank you!

    Lavender Orpington chick color question...

    Hi all! Just curious if anyone who has LO's can help me. We've bread from our Lav roo and two Lav hens a few times, but this is a first for us. Is it normal for some of the chicks to be black?? It's a lavxlav so it should breed true, right?? Am I missing something? Or will they lighten up over time?
