phoebs is in Australia, so you won't be getting any birds from there any time soon....

Oops.

Sorry didn't see that.

could you get a lavender mottled using black mottled?

 

[phoebs]

Yes, lavender can be mottled, and that's probably what you have.

now i am getting confused so i was sure i had lavemder mottle but now i may have a blue or self blue?

Quote: If you got them at an auction, there is no guarantee that that is what it is. I see may birds at auctions and I see them also at auctions, but they are my culls, so buyer beware at the auctions.

of course

lavender x black mottled = all black split for lavender and mottled

both those genes are recessive so it wont show on the first cross if you use a plain black

now cross these two back ( the chicks) and you get black, mottled, lavender, and lavender mottled as well as combos of splits


or cross lavender to porcelain and you get all lavender birds split for mottled

back cross these chicks or take them back to porcelain again and you get lavender mottled that way too

lavender and self blue are the same thing....

lavender is the gene name, self blue is a trade name for the gene color, but they are the same color

you do not in any way have " andalusian" blues or blues as most call them. They are way too pale .

They are lavender ( self blue) for sure the only question is if they are mottled, split to mottled, or just have some random white feather leakage.

I am near 100% sure they are carrying the mottled gene though. once you breed them, you'll know for sure

They are now gone....


Just to let people know, I am giving away some of my project D'uccle Roosters. The new roos with the dilute genes I require are fighting with them because there's not enough hens at this moment. I have a mille fleur- these were all taken several months ago, I can get new pics tommorrow.




A couple of gold-necks, for you newbies, that means a double dose of andulusian blue that dilutes black







And some that are carrying just columbian and mahoghany, like this red fellow here.

Just pay for shipping and they are yours.

i have breed them before and their chickens are mottle here are some pictures

these three pictures are of my first chick from those hens and that rooster
also with this chick i would like to know the gender can anybody tell??








the next few are of the second hatch. also i was wondering if you can tell the gender
they are probably a month and a bit old so maybe a bit young just thought someone may no!
the third picture is the second chick the 4th is the same chick as the 3rd












and my latest hatch 5 chicks they are only 2 days maybe 3
