Chicken coloring

[Debkampf]

What color chicks could you get from crossing a blue English Orpington with a lavender English Orpington?

According to this thread you’ll end up with blue chicks and blacks chicks that are split for lavender. Though it is recommended to use a black rooster, not blue, as blue and lavender can take many generations to get right, and start by eliminating the blue chicks. So if you’re only breeding for personal use then that’s fine, but if it’s a project you’re looking at starting you may consider getting a black rooster/hen.
