The lavender gene is recessive. In order to get lavender, a bird has to have two recessive genes.
A lavender split only has one lavender recessive gene. When bred with another lavender split the chances are 50/50 that you'll get a Lavender. When bred with a lavender, you have a 75% chance of getting lavenders. Lavender X Lavender gives 100% lavenders.
Spilt X split = only 25% lavs, 50% splits and 25% blacks
Split x lav = 50/50
