Hattie was not upset at you. The poor feather quality comment is what ruffled her feathers.It was a compliment. She is a black chicken and you know how I feel about black chickens!

Simply beautiful.
Hmmm I see how the lavender has no dark edging on the feathers. Very interesting! I never noted that beforeHattie was not upset at you. The poor feather quality comment is what ruffled her feathers.

Hattie does have the feather shedder gene and by the time she molts her feathers are looking pretty rough. But right now she is in her glory and her feathers are perfect.Doesn't mean she isn't loved - but you had mentioned (and some photos show) a bit of fraying on the feather ends.

No. Lavender breeds true. Two lavenders get you lavender offspring.Would this be like a Palomino? One needs a chestnut horse and a Cremello which acts as the diluting gene on the Cheatnut to give that yellow body with white mane and tail Palomino.
But if you breed two palomino your have a 25% chance of a chestnut and a 25% chance of a Cremello.
If you bred two greys would one get a lavender and a black ?????
Sounds like the voice of experience.The shade under that live oak is very conducive to good napping
Piglet, you are so pretty. I love you pretty girl.Then there is Piglet who is supposedly Opal or Isabel. I am not sure if those are the same thing. But I think maybe she is lavender?
She also has a bully gene which is definitely dominant!
